A fun-filled day for the children!
A group of at least 12 fun-loving people who enjoy children is needed to greet, monitor, and assist almost 3,000 children safely through Christmas Storybook Land during four School Tour Days during the first week of December. We also need Train Operators familiar with HO, N, and G-scale trains and a Santa and Mrs. Claus too.
School Tour Helpers duties include
greeting the children and are responsible for their safety and comfort, including operating a fire extinguisher, locating rest rooms and fire exits, and reporting any injuries.
Helpers are equipped with an identification badge and flashlight. Tours usually run from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., but helpers can sign up for a morning or afternoon shift. Daily hot soup lunches are provided to allow helpers to gather and socialize. Dress warmly, as the venue is not heated. For more information, contact the School Tour Volunteer Coordinator.
It is important for all school tour volunteers to be familiar with the following:
- Pre-registration and scheduling are required to participate. On arrival check in at the sign-in table to receive your name badge before participating.
- Read the Greeter Guidelines before participating.
- Watch the Fire Extinguisher Safety Video:
