Most jobs require applicants to be at least sixteen years of age. There are, however, some positions available for fourteen and fifteen-year-olds. No prior experience is necessary, but we are looking for people who understand the importance of enjoying life, people who like to smile and help others, and people who are just plain friendly.
You must have a valid, active, working email address to apply for any of our open positions as you will receive various email notifications, interview dates/times, next steps, etc. via email once you apply for a position.

If you are under the age of 18, you will also be required to provide a Work Permit (if applicable).

A show as large as ours makes flexible scheduling and part-time scheduling available. Tell us when you are available. We may have a schedule that fits your needs. Keep in mind that availability dates and times are very important and have a strong bearing on consideration for employment. After all, we have a show to produce! Hours may fluctuate due to weather and park attendance. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a specific number of hours each week. Everyday "the show must go on" for our guests making it vital that you have reliable transportation.
Just like our Guests who come back year after year... you will want to come back to Idlewild & SoakZone each summer.
