Tipping Policy

While tipping is not required, it is certainly an appropriate way to reward those staff members who have contributed to the success of your child’s experience. Staff typically receive gratuities from ninety percent of our camp families. Although this is a guide, please feel free to increase the amounts if your child has had an exceptional experience.

We prefer to use the GRAZZEE APP rather than accepting cash tips and envelopes. Therefore, we have teamed up with Grazzee, a contactless tipping app that can also be accessed online. It is easy to use, and the money will be sent directly to each staff member you select. Please follow the instructions provided below on how to download the GRAZZEE APP and use the GRAZZEE website.

Recommended Tipping Amounts are as follows:

Senior Counselor: $9 – $11 per week of enrollment.
Junior Counselor: $7 – $9 per week of enrollment.
Bus or Car Driver: $7 – $9 per week of enrollment.
Bus Counselor and/or Assistant Bus Counselor: $3 – $5 per week of enrollment.
