Perfect summer job for those in college, or those looking for a seasonal adventure in Colorado.  The views and beauty of the area are incredible.  The summer season starts May 1 and goes through Labor Day, and we understand if employees need to leave in August for school.   The park is open year round and the park hires for all seasons if an employee does want to stay longer.  Work in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and Colorado! 

The park is located 10 miles to the West of Canon City and will need your own transportation to get to work.  The park opens at 9 am daily, with rides open at 10 am daily.  During the summer season, the park closes at 7 pm.
