Summer Employment at The Tyler Place Family Resort

For over a hundred and fifty years the lakefront property which is now The Tyler Place has been a summer tradition for families. Four generations of our family have come here to camp, pick blackberries, build tree houses, fish, sunbathe, canoe, swim and play volleyball. Over the years we've grown a bit more sophisticated, but we've tried and succeeded (we think!) to maintain for our guests this essence of summer - and our hard-working, energetic staff is a HUGE reason why guests keep returning year after year. Our employees' enthusiasm and genuine love of The Tyler Place are two factors that contribute to that special spirit of the place.

Free housing and three meals a day (plus snacks); 40 hour work weeks plus opportunities for extra pay; end-of-season bonus; use of our facilities on a guest-first basis including canoes, kayaks, fishing boats, fitness center, swimming pools, tennis, etc.; the chance to socialize and participate in activities with our guests which often leads to important career opportunities; the opportunity to live and work with students from all over the world; and most importantly, friendships with guests and staff that last a lifetime!

Our 2008 Season runs from May 23 to September 6, but staff should arrive on May 20, to attend orientation. Most of our staff are college or graduate students and applicants who require housing must have completed at least two years of college to be considered for employment. Staff can expect a minimum wage of $7.68 per hour and more based on the position, experience and supervisory level (there are no salary deductions for room and board). We have a No Tipping Policy so as not to spoil the collegial guest/staff atmosphere - a trademark for four generations.

"Tyler Place was the time of my life and I have made lots of long lasting friendships." Kelly Young (Bartender/ Lifeguard)

"After deciding I wanted to work at a resort last summer, I began my country-wide quest to find the best one possible. I never would have guessed it was in my own backyard! Located in scenic Highgate Springs, The Tyler Place is northern Vermont's best kept secret. When I found The Tyler Place on the internet it seemed too good to be true, but I realized upon my arrival that it was even better, and it continued to surpass my expectations every day. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who values family, meeting new people, and having a great time." Allison Eaton (Counselor)

"Tyler Place is the best place on Earth! Employees are taken care of like no others and guests are the best around! You can expect an amazing summer of fun-filled activity, wonderful friends and memories that will last a lifetime!" Jes Dean (Clubhouse Director)
