Snow Grooming Staff

Montecito Sequoia Lodge & Summer Family Camp is a year-round, all-inclusive family-friendly lodge, located inside the gates of beautiful Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, in California.

Staff Room & Board:

Due to our remote location (about an 1 1/2 hr. drive time to Fresno, CA), most of our staff live on-site at Montecito. If you live onsite you will receive subsidized room and board (including satellite internet, satellite telephone access & laundry service during the summer season; it is important to note that there is no cell service in our remote location, but we offer free WiFi). The staff dines along with our guests, and shares the same buffet meals. Staff that live off-site have meal privileges during their shifts.

Year-round staff generally share a small dorm-room type housing with one other person, with some individual units available as well. Most staff share shower/bathroom facilities with other staff.

Activities:

We are situated on 40 acres of National Forest Service land at an altitude of 7,400 feet, with a private lake, a year-round hot tub, a seasonal pool, amazing views of the Great Western Divide Mountains, and close proximity to the Giant Sequoia Trees for which these parks are famous.

Due to our extensive mountain sports & activities program, both on-site & within the parks, our staff members have free access to enjoy many outdoor recreation opportunities when they are off work, and, as a result, our staff share amazing experiences together, and make friendships for a lifetime.

Qualities We Look For In Potential Employees:

Our employees become part of the Montecito Family, and often become friends with not only our staff, but with our guests. Many of our guests return year-after-year, and they and their children become very close to our staff. Therefore it is very important that staff members represent Montecito well, set a good example for our young guests, and behave professionally at all times. Many of our seasonal staff return year-after-year as well, because they enjoy the working environment and the friendships they share at Montecito.

We look for candidates who are:

• Outdoorsy, Friendly & Fun
• Enthusiastic & Flexible
• Team players
• Hard workers
• Responsible & Professional
• Honest & Authentic
• Focused on Customer Service
• Leading a healthy, drug-free lifestyle
• Clean, neat and wholesome appearance
• Preferably experienced working with families and children

Year-Round Benefits:

For those employees who work for us year-round, we offer many benefits not mentioned above, including subsidized medical & dental insurance, and a 401K retirement plan. We also provide paid vacation, paid sick days, life insurance coverage, workers compensation coverage, and year-end holiday bonuses for our full-time staff.

Gratuities:

The entire Montecito staff shares gratuities from our guests equally, which can be substantial during our summer family camp season.
