Help us make it magical for the children!  

As a supervisor for the Children's Craft Workshop, you get to work where it's warm.  In the lower level of the Town Center Building, you'll help children have fun by watching over the craft tables, restocking the crafts, helping if asked, making sure everyone gets a turn, and keeping the workspace tidy.

When the fun is done, all you need to do is tidy up the area, pack the supplies and decorations into the boxes, move the tables and chairs back into place, and make sure no crafts are left on the floor. 

Friendliness and good people skills are a must - and don't forget to wear something festive!  Break out that ugly Christmas sweater, Santa hat, or reindeer antlers and get ready to have some holiday fun!
