The Dollywood Family Medical Center provides low cost healthcare such as routine family medical care, x-rays, laboratory services, physicals and wellness programs. Employees are eligible after their first 30 days of work. Park Perks One of the benefits our Work Campers like best is our “Park Perks” program. This pass exchange program allows our employees to visit over 75 attractions at heavily discounted or free admission. It is not unusual for us to hear our work camper couples saved over $1500 in a season using this benefit. Perks my include, but are not limited to: All Herschend Family Entertainment Properties Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede Lumberjack Feud Titanic Museum Area aquarium Local dinner theaters Putt-putt golf Whitewater rafting Work Camper Weather and Temperatures The weather has a direct affect on staffing and the work environment. Employees may be “called off” of work due to inclement weather and/or low attendance. Employees may be asked to work extra shifts if attendance is higher than projection. Most employees work outside in the heat or cold. While most Work Campers are aware of the heat, many are surprised by the high humidity level and amount of work performed outside.
