A virtual hiring event is set from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 24. Interested applicants must register on the park’s website by 5 p.m. Monday, March 22.

Available positions includes roles in admissions, aquatics, rides, food service, park services and more. Employees at Wild Waves earn a starting pay of $13.75 and must be 16 to apply. Benefits include free park admission and flexible schedules, the park stated.

Wild Waves announced the cancellation of their 2020 season, including all special events in the fall and winter, on Aug. 20 of last year due to the uncertainty of the pandemic.

As a result, all 2020 Wild Waves Season Passes have been converted and upgraded to the new 2021 Premium Season Pass which includes free season parking and 50%-off cabana rental.

Wild Waves Theme & Water Park President Jody Kneupper began her career in the amusement industry as a teenager life-guarding for a water park.

“The experience and leadership skills I gained helped me succeed in college and eventually took me all over the country with an amazing opportunity to see new places and have fun at work,” she said. “It’s a career I could have never imagined.”
