Employment

So, why should I work at Castaway Cove this summer?

You’ll Have a Great Time!

Believe it or not, there are still some jobs out there that a person can enjoy being a part of. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of them…just kidding! We have no doubt that you will have fun working at Castaway Cove Waterpark and that attitude will pass on to your interaction with park guests. To make it even better, when you don’t have a shift you will have the chance to get into Castaway Cove for free and your immediate family will get a discounted rate when they visit (sorry, no Saturdays or holidays).

You’ll Make Cold Hard Cash!

Just admit it…money is a big consideration in finding a job. With that in mind we have structured our pay rates to be competitive with other local jobs.

Work Schedules That Aren’t a Bummer!

Sure…we have to make sure there are enough employees covering the shifts to keep the park staffed and our guests happy. However, we will do our best to take your life outside of work into consideration in the scheduling process.

The Opportunities To Meet New People Are Endless!

Within your own ranks or other departments you will have plenty of chances to meet new people and create life-long friendships. During daily shifts, intramural events, or get-togethers we will have a great time the entire summer getting to know other team members from a staff of about 200 people.

We Trust You’ll Be Back!

By the end of the season you will have too many friends and memories to count. You’ll have such a great experience that we have no doubt you will be thinking of the next one to come.

Castaway Cove Waterpark will be accepting applications for the following positions:

In addition to the department and job specific tasks mentioned below, every employee will be responsible for the overall park image.

This could cover tasks such as picking up a piece of loose trash to helping out in other departments. We truly believe that all employees are part of a big team and with that attitude we will help the guests to have a great experience.

Greeters/Retail

We’re definitely looking for friendly, up-beat, service oriented people to help with this position. Greeters and Retail personnel are some of the first members of our team to make an initial impression on our park guests.

Plenty of guest-friendly staff are needed to help guests as they purchase admission into the park, food, beverages, snacks, retail items, and rent lockers.

The class and Certification must be done online and certificate given to Castaway Cove Waterpark.

Lifeguard

Another piece of the Castaway Cove team are the staff members who look out for our guests safety as they enjoy our rides and attractions. This position requires a great deal of maturity since you will serve a vital role in our guests overall experience. The lifeguard job is a position in which interaction with the guests is very important. Lifeguards spend their shifts in and out of water, in the sun and shade, while maintaining strict safety standards.

If you have further questions about the lifeguard course contact the Human Resources department.

Pool staff are responsible for maintaining a high standard of water quality in all of the pools and attractions through the use of chemicals, portable pool vacuums and general clean up around the pools and attractions. This position requires individuals who are able to wake up early and report to their shift at the crack of dawn. Previous water quality experience is helpful but not a requirement.
