We know you’re not in it for the money. Still, it helps to know as you’re considering a position with us how you will be compensated. Here’s how the benefits break down:
Room (Housing), Board (All Meals), Laundry & WiFi
All room, board, and laundry is provided to staff free of charge. You'll have a space to sleep, a place store your clothing and belongings, and yummy meals and snacks each day. We send laundry out to a professional service weekly and it comes back to you folded and clean - all you have to provide is the laundry bag! You'll also have access to high speed WiFi - we're rural, but we're connected!
Paid Time Off (Daily & Weekly)
You receive time off each day as well as a portion of time each night after kids are in bed. You also receive days off which you can use to relax and recharge. There is a staff-only area on camp where you can take a nap, get WiFi access, have a snack, and just enjoy your downtime away from the hustle and bustle of the camp day.
Appreciation & Support
We know how hard our staff members work and we want you to know how much we appreciate it! We can't give you all the secret details here, but rest assured that we have many ways to show you how much you matter to us! We know you'll enjoy the staff appreciation events our Director of Staff Experience and their team puts on. In addition, our supportive, welcoming camp community makes it feel like you're working with friends - which is how work should be! And, if you're having a hard day or need to talk things out, we have a great staff support system in place, up to and including access to a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. We're committed to making sure you are taken care of while you're with us!
Staff Transportation
We offer all staff free transportation to and from camp at the beginning and end of the summer from our closest city hub: Boston, MA. Additionally, we help who don't have a car on site with access to delivery services, curbside pickups from local shopping, and rides to places on your time off.
Certifications
Any certifications we offer you are at our cost and for you to keep and benefit from indefinitely. Additionally, if you desire, we will work with you to get school credit for the training and work you do at Starfish.
Salary & "Boosts" (Bonuses)
Our pay scale is structured so you can see what you’ll be making, based on your qualifications, tenure at camp, skills, and even your ability to recruit friends to work with you (referral bonuses).
