Summer Employment Opportunities 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, fish, build tree forts, pick blackberries, swim, canoe, sunbathe and enjoy nature and each other's company. 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 hardworking, enthusiastic staff is a HUGE factor that contributes to that special spirit of the place and keeps guests returning year after year.

Live-in staff (typically international students or students from out of state) are provided with free housing and three meals a day (plus snacks); 40 hour work weeks plus opportunities for extra pay; bonus at the end of the season; use of the facilities on a guest-first basis (pools, canoes, kayaks, sailboats, tennis, volleyball, fitness center, etc.); the chance to socialize and participate in activities with our guests, which often leads to important career opportunities; the chance to live and work with students from all over the world; and most importantly, friendships with staff and guests that last a lifetime!

Live-out staff (staff who live nearby and do not require housing) receive meals while on duty, and all other benefits listed above.

Our 2009 season runs from May 22 to September 12, but staff should arrive on May 19 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. Live-in staff can expect a minimum of $8.06 per hour and possibly more based on the position and your experience. 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.

Staff Comments

"Tyler Place was the time of my life and I have made lots of long lasting friendships."
Kelly, AUSTRALIA
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."
