The Experience

Help us care for our nature lodge at the gateway of a national park in Charlevoix, Québec. This winter: snow clearing (steps, paths, balconies, exits), spa upkeep, firewood and fireplaces, fire pit prep on busy weekends, light room turnovers. In spring: landscaping. Private room in our shared staff house, basic pantry staples, spa and trails, company car with a Canadian licence (ideally 25+). Big property: plenty of space for quiet.

My volunteering experience was truly wonderful. It's a very peaceful place, surrounded by nature, where you can disconnect and enjoy the calm. Although there aren't many people, everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming, making you feel right at home. I'm leaving with great memories and an experience I would definitely recommend.

My first and definitely my best volunteering experience in Canada! ❤️ I loved everything about this place. Everyone was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. We laughed so much, played UNO, and shared so many great moments. You truly made me feel at home. Nathan, Clara, Simon, Joe, and everyone else, you are all amazing! I'll always carry you in my heart. Huge hug to everyone, and of course, this is not goodbye… I'll see you again! 🇨🇦❤️

This was a great experience for me. The property is very beautiful and the accomodations are top-tier... It's remote but that worked out well for me. There were a few things I did for the first time and that's also a positive because I got to learn new skills and learned to use different. I was given responsibilities and a level of autonomy to do the tasks and that's also a very good thing for me. The owners and managers were welcoming and responsive and this made the experience smooth. They told me this is their first time hosting volunteers so I'm glad to be a part of the pilot!
