Olympia Companies The Lodge at Schroon Lake

Live Your Best Adirondack Summer at The Lodge at Schroon Lake

Imagine waking up to misty mountain views, spending your workday organizing lakeside games, kayak rentals and campfire s’mores, and finishing your shift with a swim in one of the clearest lakes in New York State. That’s daily life as an Activities Attendant at Olympia Companies – The Lodge at Schroon Lake, a beautifully reimagined resort in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains.

This is a Work & Travel USA position built for outgoing, energetic university students who love people, the outdoors and making memories that last far longer than one summer.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Welcoming guests to the recreation and activities center with a big smile and great energy

• Assisting with beach and waterfront operations – distributing kayaks, paddleboards, canoes, life jackets and towels
• Checking recreational equipment in and out, tracking inventory and keeping gear clean and safe
• Answering guest questions about the resort, local hiking trails, the lake and area attractions
• Maintaining tidy, safe and inviting activity spaces, pool decks and outdoor areas
• Supporting seasonal and holiday events alongside a fun, international team

• Classic small-town America: summer concerts in the park, ice cream shops, farmers markets and Fourth of July fireworks over the lake
• Easy travel: Lake Placid, Lake George and Burlington, Vermont are short trips away; Montreal, Boston and New York City are all reachable on days off
• Autumn bonus: staying into the fall means you’ll see the Adirondacks explode into world-famous red, orange and gold foliage
