Kids take the slide at Wild River Country.

Looking for a way to get the kids off the couch this summer and -- maybe, just maybe -- teach them how to make a buck? Send them out to Wild River Country next month for a summer job interview.

The central Arkansas water park will be seeking summer help during a series of interviews on March 6, March 13 and March 20 at the park at 6820 Crystal Hill Road in North Little Rock.

You can download an application form on Wild River Country's Web site here. Kids under 18 can apply for summer positions, but will need their parent or guardian's permission. Kids under 16 will require permission as well as a work permit.

More questions? You can call the park at (501) 753-8600.

So what positions are open? Wild River Country is seeking lifeguards, food service workers, admission workers and grounds workers.

Believe it or not, summer's just around the corner. Here's a good way to get a jump on some sunny summer jobs.
