Summer Jobs 2012 | all jobs for on-site summer staff are filled; openings available for 1 – 2 people with local housing

Bearskin hires a small number of summer staff members each summer season. We have a limited amount of available housing, so potential employees who are local or who have local housing are of special interest to us this year. Click here to read the important employee information on this page to decide if you will fit in well at Bearskin Lodge.

We will call or e-mail them before we hire you. A good cover letter explaining your interest in Bearskin employment helps set your application apart — tell us more about yourself.

As usual, Bearskin was fortunate to find outstanding job applicants this summer.  All of our housing units are now full.  However, we do need 1 – 2 more employees who have local housing for this position:

  • Summer housekeeping/front desk combo jobs: Clean cabins on weekends and on some week days, fill in at the front desk when needed. About 60% housekeeping, 40% front desk unless the applicant would prefer to do more housekeeping.   At the front desk you will respond to e-mails, talk to guests, answer the phone, sell gifts, take reservations, check-in guests, and represent Bearskin in a positive and friendly manner.  You may also help with preparation for canoe outfitting trips. Requires good communication skills for all these tasks, but especially front desk.  We hire the most employees for this job combination. Previous housekeeping experience useful, but you can do the job if you will be a meticulous cleaner, a hard and fast worker, a good team player, and a helpful, friendly co-worker.

If you would enjoy this job and already have housing in the area–your family home, a nearby cabin, a friend you can stay with, a camper you could stay in – we are very interested in you as an employee. No maintenance/outfitting jobs left; please only apply if you are interested in the position listed above.  No on site housing remains, job only available to someone who has a place to live in the area. 

Job is could be available as a part-time position for somebody who also has another job.  We are most interested in employees who can work Saturday and Sunday during the day. 

Our employees have access to our equipment and trails. We love employees who live to love the outdoors. To apply, please send references, a letter of application describing your interest, experience and background, the dates you are available and any other pertinent information to sue@bearskin.com

Or fill out the application.
