Description
We live on Vancouver Island in Ladysmith, BC, on the ocean. We have two children aged 10 and 12, 2 cats, 4 chickens and 1 dog. Our adopted sons our First Nations, and we speak some of the local language at home. You are invited to come stay in our beautiful, clean camper right on the beach. You are welcome to borrow our kayaks for adventures on the calm waters! You can also borrow our bikes to ride into our cute little town. Work includes garden and yard work, sanding and painting. We provide an initial meal with our family on your first day, and stock some staples in the trailer kitchen. The trailer suits 1 to 2 people. There is a double bed and a bunk. 4 hours per day of help is required.
