Camp Monroe

HAPPYLAND.A place where girls shower in the rain. A place where everyone goes on raids and never gets caught. A place where playing with food and screaming at meals is a good thing. As we monroians like to call it our home away from home.

"Whether it was a good week or a bad week a sad week or a happy week a rainy week or a dry week whatever kind of week it was the one thing that we can be sure of is that at the end of the week shabbos comes."

Camp Monroe

Camp Monroe WAS the happiest place on earth. It closed in 2017. People hooked up in Monroe Stadium otherwise known as “Mono Stadium.” When it rained the girls showered in the rain and went on the slip and slide with the waiters. Bunk 57 of 2015 love to play a game where they swung on the rafters. That was extremely dangerous.The older girls stayed in the house which was a huge fire hazard. They rotated showers too. Most bunks got away with raiding eachother. OOTH and OJOBs of the year 2016 got away with raiding eachother on the last night of camp. The bunks were disgusting and basically were falling apart. The last owners of the camp decided to renovate the camp. They only renovated the bunk that their kid would be staying in and their office. Well as of February 17, 2019 the house is being torn down. This once co Ed fun camp is now becoming a orthodox Jewish all boys camp. Everyone is really sad about it, but whatever. Although, Camp Monroe wasn’t really known and you could never find a sweatshirt with Camp Monroe’s name on it at Denny’s or Lester’s, it was happyland to many people.

I love Camp Monroe.
