Olympia Companies The Lodge at Schroon Lake

Live and Work in the Heart of the Adirondacks

Imagine waking up to misty mountain views, crystal-clear lake water and the fresh pine scent of the Adirondacks – then heading to work at one of Upstate New York’s most beautiful boutique resorts. The Lodge at Schroon Lake, part of the respected Olympia Companies hospitality group, is looking for energetic international students to join its housekeeping team as Room Attendants for the Summer to Fall season.

This is your chance to earn great money, build real hospitality experience with an American employer, and spend your free time hiking, kayaking and exploring one of the most spectacular regions in the United States.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Room Attendant, you are the reason guests fall in love with The Lodge. Your daily responsibilities will include:

• Restocking your housekeeping cart and keeping supply areas tidy
• Reporting maintenance issues or lost-and-found items to your supervisor
• Greeting guests warmly and helping with simple requests
• Supporting your teammates in public areas and laundry when needed

Why Schroon Lake?

Schroon Lake is a classic American lakeside village tucked inside Adirondack Park – the largest protected natural area in the contiguous United States. Think 9-mile-long swimming lake, sandy beaches, hiking trails, mountain summits, canoe rentals, summer concerts and unforgettable autumn colours in September and October.

You’ll be within easy reach of Lake George, Lake Placid, Montreal and even New York City for weekend trips – a perfect base for the classic Work & Travel USA adventure.
