We have a number of part-time employees. These are generally high-school and college students who either work at our camps or help in our after-school, evening and/or weekend programs during the school year. At the moment we expect Madeline, Evan, Danielle and Mitch to come work for us again this coming summer of 2019.
Please call us 7 days a week at 781-708-1255 if you are looking to verify the names of any of our staff. We have very strict guidelines as to who may work for us.
