Docents (tour guides) - Weekends (Saturday or Sunday 11:45 - 4) - We have a guide that you can use to give the tour and we have you shadow for a couple times before going on your own. Great way to engage with people that have never been here or used to stay when they were little, learn about the history, and share experiences.
Greeters - Weekends (Saturday or Sunday 11:45 - 3:15) Meet and greet people when they come for a tour. Visit and keep track of them in the Chapel while they wait for the next tour.
Gift Shop - Weekends (Saturday or Sunday 11:45 - 3:15) Meet people after the tour in the Gift Shop. Ring up their orders and walk them back up to the Chapel to exit.
