The Experience

We would love someone to spend a few hours every day developing our son's hockey skills. Two days a week we will get on-ice practice, and the other days you can do "dryland" training (shooting, exercises, stickhandling, etc.). We will also ask for some help around our camp (cleaning cabins, landscaping, gardening, etc.) If you have a passion for hockey and the outdoors this is a perfect opportunity.

My time with Jim, Alyssa, Granny Franny, Asher, and the whole family was simply wonderful. I was welcomed with so much warmth and included in their everyday life so naturally that I immediately felt safe. Spending almost two weeks being part of this incredible, soul-soothing the lodge definitely counts as one of the best experiences I've had so far. Everyone treats each other with such warmth, openness, and genuine kindness, really special! The work is absolutely fair and I'm just super grateful for my time there. Whenever I'll think about it, there will be this big smile on my face! :) ☀️

This is by far the coolest volunteering experience I have ever done, definitely apply for this! Granny, Jim, Alyssa and Asher are amazing hosts, lovely human beings and you can learn so much from them about life, nutrition, nature and more. There are so many activities to do at the lodge and in the city, like swimming, kayaking, rollerskating, archery, yoga, tubing and just connecting with nature. Even the work is super diverse from painting canoes to cleaning cabins and fixing docks. I had the best summer the lodge experience ever and will forever be grateful for all the memories I made here!!

If you're reading this unsure whether to apply — hear me out. This is the one and only opportunity I wholeheartedly recommend to absolutely everyone. Not even exaggerating. I mean everyone. Granny, Asher, Alyssa, and Jim are beautiful, grounded human beings who will take care of your soul without even realizing it. They create an environment that feels like home in the most unexpected, healing way. This is the type of experience people need in their lives — not because of the type of work, but because of the kind of connections you'll make and the knowledge you'll gain.
