Salary not listed
We’re looking forward to welcoming some new staff for the upcoming season. Like everywhere in 2021 with COVID-19, things are a little different here, with a shorter season and less work with educational groups for the spring. What hasn’t changed – it is a wonderful place to live and work because of our community, and because of our access to stellar wilderness.
Our Dream Team is:
Passionate about outdoor education and connection
Inspired by SPL’s mission and core values
Diverse in skills, education, cultural backgrounds, genders, LGBTQ2S+, and any other equity seeking groups
Filled with fun, kind, compassionate, hard working, adventure seeking individuals
Able to thrive in an off grid, environmentally aware, road access wilderness lodge setting
Clean living in our drug and smoke free property
The majority of our staff live on site in simple accommodation, and pay about $20/day for food and rent, a little less for more rustic accommodation and a little more for more amenities.
