Sometimes, 'instructor' might also work, though clearly, it isn't the same as a 'monitor'

summer camp group leader
Camp counsellor (camp counselor = US English) can be used, if not I think a summer camp group leader would convey the French idea

David Goward
: Personally I think this is the more suitable of your two suggestions. "Counsellor" has other connotations in UK English.
