One of the most important resources that we provide is a qualified staff member who shows up at your camp prepared to successfully implement your camp's theater program. All applicants undergo a comprehensive screening process to determine relevant qualifications for your camp including conflicts of availability, geographic location, and applicable skills and experiences.

Together we predetermine the salary for your staff member and we directly place them based on the parameters you provide for us. We conduct all elements of screening including checking references on your behalf, contracting your staff, organizing travel, and supervising the completion of all relevant paperwork. For program partners, this option includes the mainstages staff member guarantee, whereby mainstages will find you a satisfactory replacement staff member at no additional expense to you.
Similar to Direct Placement above, you provide your parameters for the position to us and we will then screen applications and refer qualified candidates to you. Whenever a potential match is identified, you receive an application highlighting that person as well as their requested salary range. In this scenario, the camp is responsible for conducting interviews, checking references, negotiating the final rate of pay, and contracting the staff member. Program partners will be asked to place their staff member(s) with a completed contract by April 15.
After placement, all mainstages staff undergo pre-camp training. Training focuses on activity facilitation, collaboration, classroom management, and how to manage additional responsibilities in the camp environment.
