If you ditch out on cleanup, you will automatically not be welcome back for future summers. Drivers Wanted!

The roads have lots of turns, are narrow and have holes, so be prepared! You will be reimbursed for fuel. Benefits: HOUSING: Free housing provided. You will be given a foam bed and share a common sleeping area with 10 or more people. You may live with campers, or other workers depending on the number of campers and situation that week. You may also have to switch houses midway through the camp. *Please Note!* this job is designed for people who love snowboarding/skiing and are willing to make sacrifices to be able to ride in the summer. Please do not apply if you expect to live in luxury! FREE LIFT PASS: Free lift pass every day, plus night sessions, and access to our professionally built terrain park FOOD: Some food will be provided by the camp, but you will need to buy your own food as well. Some workers have lived on camp food alone, but get tired of the same meals by the end of the camp. So be prepared and budget some money for your own food too.

If you have a car, how many people are you willing to transport daily? 4. What is your phone number and Email? We will choose the workers by April 30th. If you do not hear from us by then, it means we do not have a position for you. But we will keep you on our list in case a job opens. If you are having trouble getting a job, the best thing to do is sign up for camp, get to know some of the workers personally, express your interest in working, and apply again next year.
