What our family has to say about working at The Island

“All things considered, I don’t sell a product. I sell memories and smiles. What greater service can I provide than bringing joy to people.”

– Jo M.


“How can you have a bad day at work when your job makes so many smiles young and old? Knowing you have a direct positive impact on so many people each day that are here to escape the everyday struggles we all endure makes me happy.”

– Todd F.


“What I love about my job is that the things that we take granted like the mountains, the National Park and even the fun place atmosphere that we work in, can all be experienced again each moment through every one of our hundreds of thousands of guests and reminds me of how lucky we are to live and work in this “one of a kind place!” 

– Bobby W.


“There’s something special about The Island that you can’t find anywhere else. When I first got this job four years ago, I could have never imagined the joy it would bring me. Every day, I get to interact with guests who have amazing stories, who come to The Island to escape the hustle and bustle of every day life, who find peace in visiting with us. There’s nothing better than being the reason they smile or create a lasting memory with loved ones.”
