Descrição
We are located in Paradise Valley, Montana, 17 miles from Livingston and 35 from Yellowstone Park. Nestled in a spacious mountain meadow, our place is seldom windy and is jaw-droppingly beautiful. Founded as a Methodist retreat a century ago, we operate as a "people's park" hosting various groups, from 4H clubs to Scouts, church youth groups to Qigong.
Our staff are upbeat, energetic, and in love with this space.
We are looking for helpers that like variety in their days and are willing to help with kitchen, guest services and groundskeeping activities. We feed anywhere from 30 to 200 people per day and care for a 9-acre meadow and 27 buildings.

Objetivos de sustentabilidade da ONU que este anfitrião quer atingir
Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We spend a lot of time sitting around the campfire and hosting enthusiastic and playful, banter-filled chats on the front porch.
This is not called Paradise Valley by accident. It is stunning. Hiking and wildlife opportunities are all around, and there are historical mines and sites in the area. Most of our guests spend considerable amounts of time on the Yellowstone River (just down the hill from us) and in Yellowstone National Park. Bozeman is about 30 miles away, and the best way to get there is a backroad that winds through mountains and working ranches.
Ajuda
Kitchen help preparing and serving meals is needed. We have a large dining hall, and will be serving groups of 30 or more at a time this summer. Plenty of helpers are needed to keep the flow going.
Help with grounds-keeping and cabin cleaning is also needed. We spend a lot of time watering, and caring for the incredible meadow, grounds and cabins. Every few days, we turn over the cabins with a sweep and a bed sanitization, so the next group arrives to a tidy space.
Most of our buildings are 60+ years old, except for the staff bathhouse, which is brand new, so upkeep is paramount to our success.

Inglês: FluenteEste anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
We are open to any language, but do not have fluent speakers of any other language than English on staff. We will try our best!
Acomodação
We have one room staff cabins available for our Workaway guests, which are adjacent to our new staff bathhouse. Meals are served in the main lodge. Workaway guests are also welcome to pitch a tent on the grounds.
Algo mais...
There are Forest Service wilderness hiking trailheads just steps away, and two fun music venues within minutes of camp. Stipends are provided to offset travel cost. The road is paved right to our front gate, but that piece of civilization does not diminish the peace and quiet of this unique space.

Espaço para estacionar campervans
We have electrical hook-ups and water in the area. RVs would need to go to town for a dump station.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site, kept on leashes at all times. Bears, deer and other wildlife are prone to visit camp, so good behavior is a must.

The camp literally borders a National Forest, and is part of the Yellowstone ecosystem, so you are staying in a jaw-droppingly beautiful location. There are all kinds of hiking and river-related activities nearby, and on our days off (some days were half days, some were full days, and… read more
My friend, Hallie, and I stayed for a month back in the summer of 2022. The time we spent at here will forever be some of our most cherished memories.
