Because expectations of guest services are high, so too are the expectations of our employees performance. We expect our staff to be friendly with strong interpersonal skills, as well as work well with others to make our team complete with a positive attitude. For many, this may be your first job, so the willingness to be outgoing, friendly and responsible is what it takes to work with our team.
Hours and days can vary and can sometimes be exhausting, but always rewarding at day’s end. There may be times when you are required to pitch in and help co-workers complete tasks that are not as rewarding, but we strive to make every employee’s time here as fun as it is fulfilling. At summer’s end, you will leave with numerous experiences, as you get to know other employees and guests from all walks of life. You will also get to enjoy working outside in one of the greatest outdoor recreation areas in the country.
If this combination of hard work, commitment and fun interests you, we ask you to submit an application in person or send a completed application with photo.
