Be a part of creating those special memories! Join an excellent team in an ideal location.

We are located in the Umpqua National Forest right on the North Umpqua Trail on the river. We are near waterfalls, hot springs, lakes, and Crater Lake National Park. Onsite staff need to have their own vehicles to go to town (about 40 miles) and to explore the area on their days off. Staff housing is one mile from the main lodge. Pets are not allowed in staff housing. Staff housing is shared with other seasonal employees.  Common areas are shared, rooms are private.
