In this episode, seasoned former workamper and current Operations Manager Lou Axt speaks to Ron Walker, Director of People & Organization about the 29-year-old workamping program at Adventureland Resort in Altoona, Iowa.
Adventureland Resort, a theme park in Altoona, Iowa, is expanding its workamper program for the 2025 season. The program hires for various roles including food service, rides, aquatics, and park services. Age requirements vary by department, with a minimum of 18 years for workampers and 14, 15, or 16 for specific roles. The resort allows all RV types but not tent camping. Workampers can expect a short walk or bike ride to the park. The weather requires proper clothing and air conditioning in RVs. Pay starts at $14 per hour, with higher rates for rehires. The program aims to accommodate 150-200 workampers, with a strong returner community.
