Student Sign-ups

Fremont, Newark and Union City students can earn Service Learning Hours at the Ghost House. Sign-up day will be Saturday, September 27 at the Ghost House (Fremont Hub next door to Chili’s).

Students, please BE SURE to bring the signed release form that is available on our website. You can sign up to work as a ghoul in the Ghost House, work in our games midway, or to be a Good Fairy. Without the form signed by your parent or legal guardian, we are unable to put you on the schedule to earn service learning hours.

  • Ghost House: Must be 12 years old to high school senior.
  • Games Booths: Must be 14 years old to high school senior.
  • Good Fairies: Must be 14 years old to high school senior.

Ghost House ghouls are not required to wear face masks.

Actor Training Days

Check back soon for Actor Training Day details.

If you haven’t worked at the Ghost House before and want to be a part of The Scare Team, the actor training days are a must. Just a few hours of your time to check out the fully decorated house and all the potential areas that you can sign up for after your first week of completed hours. The positions that you are going to work in this year are a little more dramatic than last year. So please bring your “A” game and let’s make this year a fun event.

Volunteer Early

High school students can also earn service learning hours by helping at a Saturday work party. We start at 8 AM sharp and go until 11:45 AM. You will need to bring a signed release form in order to work and earn service learning hours. Dates: September 6, 13, 20, 27. NOTE: We can only sign up the first 20 students for each work party. We will be painting and doing clean-up, constructing sets, so wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Thank you!

Release Form

A signed Parental Release form will be required to work inside the house. The form is not necessary to work in game booths or to be a “Good Fairy.”

Please print and sign this release form, and bring it with you.
