Our expert Housekeeping staff is a major reason why we have
received a 5W rating for our facilities from Woodall's. It

Occasional lifting of supply baskets will be required (10-15 pounds). The department relies heavily

in order to accomplish its responsibilities, so all staff

a high degree of consistency. |

We have a lot of customer contact as well as a lot of interdepartmental contact, so people skills are a must. Some work may need to be done outside in the rain and heat.

We lead exciting tubing trips on the picturesque Schroon River bordering our resort, engage bandits with super-soakers in heated battle as we conduct train and wagon rides, sift through mining "rough" with kids on the search for that perfect gem, assist families as they embark on canoe, kayak or electric boat excursions, prepare guests to zoom away on pedal carts, and play area host as we safely escort guests in our comfortable shuttle to and from Lake George Village.
