The experience
Helping out at our lodge provides volunteers with a fun and social experience in a mountain town by Big Bear Lake. Summer time is filled with biking, hiking and boat tours and winter time is filled with snowboarding and playing in the snow! Big Bear Lake is a four season resort town where people come from all over to have a great time outside. We are seeking volunteers who share the same passion and love the hostel life style.
