Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to frequently asked questions we receive.

What qualities make a good Hale staff member?

Energy, flexibility, and reliability are key when working in our programs. Our staff members are typically involved in their school, local, or religious communities and have a passion to make the world a better place. Our staff loves working with some really cool kids, too!

I am under 16 years old. What jobs can I apply for?

We are happy to employ 14- and 15-year-olds as Beach and Boating Attendants. This position supports Waterfront operations, so please select “Waterfront Positions” when you submit your inquiry. Incoming high school students are also eligible to join Hale’s Youth Volunteer Program. If you select “Volunteering,” a staff member will send you our Volunteer Application.

What will my work schedule look like?

Schedules differ depending on what program you are hired to work for. Camps generally operate Monday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but some programs have overnights that require other hours. You’ll learn more about schedules throughout the application and interview process.

What can I expect to be paid?

We highly value our seasonal staff. Pay rates vary based on experience and certifications, but all positions are paid at least minimum wage. Seasonal staff are paid on a biweekly schedule through direct deposit.

Can I take time off?

Summer is the busiest season at Hale! If you choose to join our team, we ask that you commit the majority of your summer to this important work. Any time off should be requested and approved prior to the start of programs.

What happens after I express interest?

First, one of our staff members will reach out and invite you to formally apply. Next, we’ll review your application and you’ll have an opportunity to interview with us. If you move forward, we’ll contact your references, verify your credentials and work history, and run criminal background (CORI) and sex offender (SORI) checks. We’re committed to hiring the best summer staff possible, and hope to welcome you to that community!

I'd rather volunteer than apply for a job. Can I do that?

Yes you can! Our Youth Volunteer Program is a great introduction to some of the responsibilities our staff members have. Learn more and apply here.

I still have questions. Who should I contact?
