They are at least 18 years old and have an interest in working with children. Last year, they came from all walks of life--college students (some with advanced college degrees), teachers, physical therapists, recreation specialists and nurses. Most staff were first aid/CPR certified. All waterfront staff have appropriate certifications. All staff have criminal and sexual offense checks performed by the Massachusetts Criminal History Systems Board. Three positive references are required for every staff member.
