At Island Roots, we believe that our staff are the true foundation of our quality programming. Despite the challenges of running a local, small-business, Island Roots believes in paying fair wages.
Although most camps will get waivers from the state so they can pay less than minimum wage, Island Roots does not. Camp staff earn an hourly wage equal to or higher than the Massachusetts minimum wage.
The education and childcare industries are known for paying low wages, even to highly-qualified employees. Island Roots works hard to ensure our staff earn wages higher than market value for their positions.
We also have a generous staff discount! Island Roots staff receive 50% - 100% off programs for their children enrolled in our programs.
is to empower generations of kind, capable, and conscientious individuals. In service of this mission, we provide high-quality educational enrichment. The foundation of our care is a lifelong skill-set, based on the pillars of Knowledge, Nature, and Wellness.
At Island Roots, we seek, gather, and share knowledge. Appreciate and preserve nature. Prioritize wellness for self, community, and world.
We aim to build and maintain strong relationships with our families even beyond their involvement in our programs, to embed sustainable practices in all elements of our business and programs, and to provide a positive, enjoyable, and supportive culture for our stakeholders.
