It's not that hard. The steps are basically:
1) Clean it really well
2) "paint" it with stain
That said, stain is a bit harder to work with than paint, and a bad job will mean that your deck deteriorates more quickly, so you might want to leave it to someone who's done it before.
That doesn't have to mean it will be super expensive though. There are a lot of college students out there who spent their high-school summers staining decks and would be happy to do it for $10-15/hour. If you don't know any, try posting a Mission on agentanything.com. Just call it "stain my deck," describe what you want done, and offer a price or accept offers from students.
The students know that if you're not happy with the job, you don't have to pay, so they won't accept the Mission unless they know what they're doing.
