Availability
Our busiest weeks of the summer are June 26-August 4, and some of our staff head back to school in August.  For these reasons, we have a bit of flexibility and can hire some staff for less than 8 weeks. For example, if you have another job/internship or summer course that is taking place at the beginning of the summer, we can possibly hire you to work in August.
