Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

I was told that I am no longer wanted by a camp to work this summer because I am a male and the surveys they did with "campers" wanted females because they will be more attentive to their needs. I have worked at this camp for 10 years and never had one complaint. I also believe he is lying and there was never a survey. Not sure if I have a case of sexual discrimination and what my options are. This was a $2,000 summer job. There was no contract but an understanding that I would be back this summer and I do have an email from him stating that I am not back because I am a male.

Thank you in advance for your advice/suggestions.

If you have an email stating that, it appears you have a valid claim, but your damages may be very limited. You have 300 days from the date of the email to file at the MCAD. I am assuming the camp is in Mass.
