About the employer
Lake Quinault Lodge is a historic lodge in Quinault, Washington, operated by Aramark Destinations. Built in 1926, the cedar-clad building sits beside a vast lake surrounded by pristine forest and hiking trails. Inside, a huge stone fireplace warms a welcoming lobby where guests read, do jigsaw puzzles, play the piano and play games. The property is made up of three buildings – the lodge itself, the Lakeside building and the Boathouse.
As a seasonal student you'll work in a small, friendly team in a remote natural setting, meet people from around the world and spend your free time outdoors. Aramark is a global leader in professional services.
