Olympia Companies The Lodge at Schroon Lake

Live the Adirondack Dream This Summer

Imagine waking up to misty mountain views, spending your days in a beautifully designed lakeside resort, and your evenings swimming, kayaking or watching the sunset over Schroon Lake. If that sounds like the Work & Travel USA summer you’ve been dreaming of, The Lodge at Schroon Lake, operated by Olympia Companies, is looking for you.

We’re hiring Public Space Attendants for the Summer to Fall season in Schroon Lake, New York — one of the most scenic corners of the Adirondack Park. Earn $18 per hour for a guaranteed 40 hours per week, and finish your season with money in your pocket and memories that last a lifetime.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Public Space Attendant, you are the person who makes the resort shine. Guests notice you before they notice anything else — and that’s a big deal.

• Clean and maintain public areas including the lobby, lounges, hallways, restrooms, elevators and meeting spaces
• Vacuum, mop, dust, polish surfaces and keep glass and mirrors spotless
• Restock supplies in public restrooms and service areas
• Remove trash and recycling and keep back-of-house areas organized
• Report maintenance issues to the appropriate team
• Greet guests with a warm smile and answer simple questions or point them in the right direction
• Support the housekeeping team with linens, deliveries and special projects as needed

Why Schroon Lake, New York?

Schroon Lake is a classic Adirondack village tucked between the mountains and a stunning nine-mile lake. Summer here means hiking trails, swimming beaches, paddleboarding, campfires, live music in the town park and legendary American small-town charm. You’re roughly halfway between Albany and Montreal, with Lake George just 30 minutes away and Lake Placid within easy reach for weekend adventures. In early fall, the whole region explodes into red and gold foliage — one of the most beautiful sights in the United States.

What You’ll Get

• $18.00 per hour — a strong wage for a seasonal housekeeping role
• 40 hours per week, with the possibility of additional hours during peak periods
• Training provided — no previous hotel experience required
• Work alongside an international team and improve your English every single day
• A supportive employer with a long track record of hosting Work & Travel students
• Access to an unforgettable outdoor playground on your days off

What We’re Looking For

• University students aged 18–25 with valid J-1 Work & Travel sponsorship
• Conversational English and a friendly, guest-focused attitude
• Reliability, punctuality and attention to detail
• Ability to stand, walk, bend and lift throughout your shift
• Flexibility to work mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays
• Availability from summer through fall
