Happy (almost) Spring! We hope this edition of the Starfish Spotlight finds you well and enjoying the warmer weather. Even though it's still technically winter here in Boston, and we might get snow this weekend, we know summer is right around the corner! It's always summer here at Starfish. :)
Enclosed in this newsletter is a brief update about happenings at Starfish! We're hiring this summer's staff team (do you know someone looking for a job?), enrolling campers (camp info is here), getting ready for a great Comedy Night fundraiser (do you like to laugh?) and so much more! Now's a great time to get involved with Starfish, and we hope you will! Please reach out to us online or by phone (978-637-2617)...we'd love to say "hi!"
Smiles from the Campfire,
Emily, Doug, Deana, Jamie & the whole Starfish team

r
Staff hiring is in full swing for this summer! If you are interested in joining the
team for 2016 (or you know someone who is!),
contact Doug
or

to learn more! We know that often the strongest new staf
f that we get are those who have been referred by friends of the organization like you.
What are we looking for in summer staff? Nothing less than
outstanding people who have the ability and desire to work with children safely, actively, and with enthusiasm! Time and again, we hear from counselors that they "...have never worked as hard at any other job...nor gained so much compensation for effort." What does that mean? It means if you have that special mix of
trustworthy, responsible, dependable, talented, and unique and are ready to bring something special to the camp community, we want you to please
contact us!
Check out this
great Huffington Post article,
"Why I Chose Summer Camp" which was written by Caroline Catlin, a member of the 2013 & 2015 Starfish summer teams.
