Campbell River, BC , Canada

Salary not listed

Job Description

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.
