Can anyone be a volunteer?
All booster volunteers represent your organization and our company to our guests. We request a complete list of all volunteers no less than 72 hours prior to your event so we have time to process background checks. During certain times of the year, the park can become very busy. Volunteers should be prepared for an extremely fast-paced environment.
What kind of things will we be doing?
Typical assignments in culinary services include bussing tables/patios, pouring sodas, preparing and filling food orders for a cashier, scooping ice cream, cleaning, doing dishes and prepping food like pizza and sandwiches. Groups may also volunteer in our games department where assignments include rebounding and helping replenish prizes.
