LAST DAY OF SCOOPING IS 9/13!

4/6/26 update: We are fully staffed for Summer 2026. You are still welcome to apply, but we will only reach out if we have a vacancy. Thank you!

For 92 years, Four Seas has hired the best kids on Cape Cod to serve our home-made ice cream to customers. Crew photos line our dining room, and many of our Scoopers return year after year throughout high school and college.

We are generally looking for employees age 16+. Are you 14 or 15? We anticipate having some Assistant Scooper spots for younger employees, but our busiest hours are at night and you can’t work that late until you’re 16. You’re welcome to apply, just know there are limited places. If you aren’t hired this year, apply again when you’re 16!

Are you a parent? Please share this page with your child and let them apply independently.

Do you live off Cape? Please read the job descriptions carefully and make sure you can work the full season as outlined in them.

We will reach out to you via text if we’d like to set up an interview.

Thank you!

This job isn’t a good fit if you:

  • Are shy, quiet, or uncomfortable interacting with customers
  • Want an easy, low-energy job
  • Get overwhelmed or shut down during busy periods
  • Need frequent downtime
  • Can’t commit to evening or closing shifts
  • Avoid dirty or messy work (we deal with a lot of spilled ice cream)
  • Can’t imagine not using your phone or earbuds for your entire shift

To work as a Scooper, you must:

  • Attend paid, in-person training in April (high-school students) or late May (college students)
  • Work at least 4 shifts per week in May and 5+ shifts per week from June onward
  • Be available weekdays and at least one weekend day
