The property consists of six bedrooms, two suites, and two independent log cabins . Volunteers will essentially be on hand to interact with guests, who being mostly Indian families, love the opportunity to meet travellers from other countries. Activities include accompanying guests on orchard and forest walks, sitting around the nightly bonfire and sharing meal times. We are looking for volunteers who love the mountains and the outdoors. The volunteers will be entrusted with the duty of a co- host. We are specifically looking for helpers who feel comfortable engaging with guests, sitting for meals with them and showing them the beauty of the area while escorting them on walks.

Area: Belize Jungle

We are a remote site located in the Belizean jungle in the foothills of the Mountain Pine Ridge. Our primary mission here is catering to our campers who are mostly backpackers traveling around Central and South America . Additionally, we operate a tropical plant and palm nursery as well as a seasonal citrus grove. Our volunteers assist in those endeavors. Volunteers work in a beautiful environment and enjoy discounted pricing on trips to amazing waterfalls, swimming holes, caves and canoeing. We only host longer term volunteers and ask for a minimum commitment of 45 days. Your time with us usually consists of 5- 6 hour workdays and then helping with evening meal preparations/cleanup in the course of a 6 day workweek. We also help our exceptional volunteers with lodging discounts in nearby San Ignacio when they need some time "in town". Additionally, we can assist with other discounted lodging around the country. Depending on the time of year the work here includes landscaping, nursery work with our tropical flowers and palms. Our primary focus, however, is assisting visiting campers in various capacities, lots of general cleaning, building & equipment maintenance and plenty of kitchen work. If a meal is cooked, volunteers help. Capable volunteers also frequently run the Outpost while we go to town, often overnight. We sometimes have special projects like trail building, construction and selling at the local market as well. Our volunteers work hard and we appreciate an ongoing positive attitude. This is a remote location and working with us is not for everyone. Some people fit here better than others and there are times when this is obvious in the first few days or so. In those cases we release volunteers from their commitment and they move along. In these cases the issue is nearly always work ethic. While we try to put our volunteers in situations that make the best use of their skills our primary goal is to accomplish our daily mission with the people we have here. Additionally, we are a family run business with our children around all the time so potential volunteers should be comfortable dealing with them on a daily basis. Volunteering here is not for everyone, we are remote and surrounded by jungle. Weak-hearted & overly sensitive need not apply, if you are scared of bugs, spiders and snakes then Central America in general is not for you. This is not the Disney version of the jungle. I say again, it is not for everyone. If you want adventure, are willing to rough it a bit and work hard, check us out. We are always looking for good people.
