Hard work and dedication is expected from everyone that is a part of our team. Each staff member / employee is equally important to the ongoing success of the DRC.

Working at the Derby Aquatics Park is a seasonal position. This being so we want it to be understood we expect those being hired to work for the entire season. You have the opportunity to give us your availability and the hours per week you can commit to working before you are hired. This information needs to be as accurate as possible so we hire the appropriate number of staff.

Rock River Rapids will open to the public on Monday, Memorial Day. All staff must be certified in CPR, First Aid and Adult/Child AED prior to opening.

We will provide water park lifeguard training during our staff training week. Training for other aspects of the facility will begin up to two weeks before opening.
