Do we have weekends off?
We do have days when we are not programming throughout the summer and on those days, unless otherwise indicated, staff are off. We do however insist that staffers are wise in plans made during days off.
Do I stay with students?
No, all staff will be lodged in the staff lodging provided.
What if I need a day off?
If there is a family event or a wedding you are in, Crossings needs to know as early as possible and we will do our best to work something out so you would be able to make the event.
