Work Hard – Play Hard at Point Sebago Resort this Summer

Casco ME – Located just 30 miles from Portland in the heart of the Lakes Region is a spectacular 775-acre resort. The resort is set on over one-half mile of shorefront on Sebago Lake, complete with a full-service marina with boat slips and rentals, and an 18-hole championship golf course. The action packed resort also hosts 10 tennis courts, horseshoes, shuffleboard, tremendous sandy beaches, lake view dining and more activities than you could hope to do in a summer.

Point Sebago Resort has been in business for 32 years. The resort was originally designed as a campground. It has evolved into an award winning resort with over 300 of its own vacation rental units available to guests from near and far who traditionally stay for a week.

What has not changed at Point Sebago is the commitment to providing fun, activity filled vacations to families that visit the resort throughout the spring, summer and fall. There are activities from sun up to well after sun down for children, teens, and adults alike.

The 5-Star activities program brings out the playful side in the kids and the kid inside of the adult guests. It has been referred to as the Disney of campgrounds in Maine.

According to a recent article in The Sun newspaper, "Point Sebago Resort is more than an outdoor experience - it's a recreational way of life."

This spirit of recreation throughout the resort translates to a positive atmosphere for guest and staff members alike.

The Point Sebago staff even stages its own shows to entertain the guests with a wide range of talents in a lighthearted show. Employees are welcomed and encouraged to get involved in these team efforts, which promise laughs and applause from the generous audience of campers.

Employees at Point Sebago are valuable players both behind the scenes and as part of the scene. The outdoor-themed resort is overflowing with activities, but it is the employees at the resort that bring it to life.

During peak season, Point Sebago has over 400 employees, with over 75 year-round positions. Many employees return year after year, some have worked at the resort for over 15 years at the resort.

“It’s the feeling you get working here,” commented Operations Director Karen Martens. “It is a beautiful setting and the employees are like one big family.”

The family aspect of working at Point Sebago means each employee is a team player, working towards a common goal of providing fun for the guests.

“The positive energy that exists at Point Sebago is contagious. It starts with our attitude toward our guests, and in return our guests have such a good experience they keep coming back. It makes for a really great environment,” said Don Toms, General Manager. “Whether you are working here or playing here, and we try to encourage both, it’s a terrific place to be.”

In addition to working in a beautiful lakeside setting, employees are welcome to numerous resort benefits including participation in on-property activities. Golf, tennis, swimming and non-power boats are available to employees free of charge, upon availability so as not to preclude guests’ usage.

Employees are also entitled to a 25% discount at the General Store and the resort’s restaurants and snack bars. Point Sebago’s accommodations are available for limited usage to employees in spring and fall when available as well.

The resort has dozens of openings in over 40 different positions this summer. With a wide range of offerings, there are employment opportunities suited for every personality.

For water lovers, Point Sebago’s full-service marina needs dock personnel, powerboat mechanics, and cashiers for the marina shop. The marina is a happening spot in the summer, where the resort’s own cruise ship, The Point Sebago Princess embarks for daily scenic tours around the magnificent lake.

The resort has power boats, sailboats, paddle boats, kayaks and canoes available to guest, which are all managed by the team of marina employees. Water ski instructors are needed to offer summer guests a fun and informative opportunity to learn to water skiing on Point Sebago’s ideally situated water ski cove.

Point Sebago’s Championship Golf Course is considered by all to be among the best golf courses in the state of Maine. The scenic and challenging golf course needs starters, rangers, greeters and cart attendants for the upcoming golf season. All of these positions are perfect for energetic people who enjoy being around the game of golf. Course maintenance positions are also available for those with a knack for greens keeping. Our experienced Course Superintendent provides training.

Point Sebago Resort accommodates up to 2,000 guests in prime summer months. To complete the offerings of plentiful activities day and night, the resort strives to provide great food, drink and entertainment to its guests.

The resort has a Lakeview Restaurant with positions available for chefs, sous chefs, and prep cooks. The popular restaurant and adjacent Sunset Lounge and Sebago Lounge need hosts, wait staff, and bartenders who enjoy interacting and servicing vacationing customers. Happy hours and nightly entertainment are part of the resort’s appeal, making these positions well suited for individuals who thrive in a dynamic atmosphere.

The resort has numerous positions to suit all types of job preferences including general resort maintenance personnel, carpentry and housekeeping. Point Sebago also has a full service General Store, where cashier positions are available for those interested in interaction with guests.

Friendly and outgoing personalities are needed as reservationists and front desk clerks at our Welcome Center annually.

Employees at Point Sebago enjoy free use of all the recreation amenities including golf, non-power boats from the marina, 25% discount in the restaurant and General Store, tennis and swimming. Of course use of all resort facilities are based upon availability, not to preclude paying guests.

“Point Sebago employees are our most valuable asset,” said Don Toms, General Manager. “Without them, we are just a nice location. With them, we are a fantastic vacation experience.”

The management makes efforts throughout the season to reward their staff through incentive programs, “employee of the week” designations, and seasonal parties of appreciation. The year-end Lobster Bake on the Beach is a favorite time among employees, when the entire team gathers to celebrate another successful season at the resort.

If you are looking to become part of an energetic team, look no further than the shores of Sebago Lake. Point Sebago Resort is a beautiful, rewarding place to work and play this summer. It could be the start of a whole new career and lifestyle.

Sidebar:
You may have heard of Camp Sunshine in conjunction with Point Sebago Resort. The owners of Point Sebago Resort, Larry and Anna Gould, also operate Camp Sunshine on the adjacent resort property.

This is a one of a kind retreat for families with critically ill children. The camp has the distinction of being the only program in the nation whose mission is to address the impact of a critical illness on every member of the immediate family - the ill child, the parents, and the siblings.

Camp Sunshine vacations are offered to families in need of a respite from their stressful situations, absolutely free of charge, including medical supervision, accommodations and activities. It is entirely due to volunteer efforts that this camp can be offered to deserving families with ill children.

Last year, Camp Sunshine became a full-time designated campus. Previous to the new facility, the Camp Sunshine curriculum would take place for four weeks each summer at the Gould’s resort, Point Sebago. The Goulds are pleased to have achieved the goal of a brand new Camp Sunshine campus.

In their on-going effort to provide support to those in need, the Goulds plan to host a special session June 30-July 5, 2002. In response to the tragic events of September 11th, Camp Sunshine will hold a special week of Camp exclusively for the children and families of victims of the World Trade Center attacks.

Camp Sunshine is always looking for volunteer support.
