"The best summer job
you'll ever have"
| Dear Family Vacation Center Applicant, |
| Thank you for applying for the best job you'll ever have! If you are fortunate
enough to be selected, you will develop friendships that last forever and become
a part of a long and rich staff tradition. Working at the FVC requires energy,
time, exceptional people skills, dedication, and a love of kids and family fun.
You will become part of a unique family that will make an indelible mark on the
rest of your life. |
| Every week, up to 300 vacationers arrive to enjoy a week of fun, sun, recreation
and entertainment in the San Rafael dorms on the UCSB campus. Most families have
a strong FVC connection and choose to return year after year. We provide their
rooms, meals, activities, entertainment and good, wholesome family fun. |
| Central to vacationer enjoyment is the FVC staff. We're looking for unique,
team-oriented individuals who will take their summer job responsibilities seriously
and who will breathe life into our summer season in an exceptional way. Successful
staffers are friendly, approachable, reliable, flexible, honest, positive and
spirited, among many other things. The staff interacts with our vacationers every
single day. How you approach that interaction will have a dramatic impact upon
the success of our program. Vacationers love to become friends with our staff
and you have a great opportunity to network with them, and be a positive role
model for all of their kids |
| As an FVC staffer, you will work, eat, play and live with other student staff
members throughout the summer. In addition to your normal job assignment, you'll
be asked to do a variety of other tasks. You might be in Small World during the
day and singing at the campfire show that night. You could be helping to lead
an adult bike ride or performing in our wild water show. It's an absolutely fantastic
experience. |
| That being said, we are very selective about who becomes a part of the wonderful
FVC tradition. In addition to this application, qualified applicants will also
take part in both a group and individual interview, as well a mandatory background
check. Staffers are also required to be CPR and First Aid certified throughout
the duration of their employment. It seems like an arduous process, but trust
us that it will be very well worth it. |
| We want to personally thank you for taking the time to fill out this application
and for going through the entire selection process. We wish you the best of luck. |
| Sincerely, |
 |
