WORK TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

“Working at Woodloch Pines has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career, and it’s the reason I return season after season. Everything here is truly amazing-the atmosphere, the teamwork, and most of all, the people. The guests have such a positive impact on me; over time many of them have become like friends. It’s the best feeling when they request me to be their server, and we look forward to seeing each other again each year.
The owners are absolutely outstanding. You can see how much they care not just about the guests, but about every single team member. That culture of care flows through the whole property-from HR to the dining room managers-everyone communicates so well and makes sure you feel supported.
What I love most is that Woodloch Pines isn’t just a workplace; it’s a community where you feel valued, appreciated, and part of something bigger. That’s what makes it so special, and that’s why I’m proud to call it my seasonal home.“

EXCURSIONS

“I have had the privilege of working at Woodloch for four summer seasons, and each year has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the very beginning, I was impressed by the culture of teamwork, respect, and genuine hospitality that defines Woodloch. This is a place where employees are encouraged to grow, take pride in their work, and contribute to creating unforgettable moments for our guests.
What I value most is the sense of community, both with my colleagues and with the families who return year after year. Being part of an organization that places such a strong emphasis on excellence, care, and connection has not only helped me develop professionally, but has also given me lasting memories and friendships. I am truly grateful to be part of the Woodloch family.“

SPORTS & RECREATION

“Working abroad and being away from family is never easy. You need to adjust to new cultures, environments, and sometimes even the weather. I’m glad a friend referred me to work at Woodloch! This family-owned company has truly treated me as part of their own family.
Here, I’ve met wonderful people and built lasting friendships. At work, my managers have always been supportive—helping me develop my skills and giving me opportunities to showcase my talents. After a long day, I can rest comfortably in the housing provided, which is conveniently close to the workplace.
What makes Woodloch even more special are the many activities within the property and nearby places to explore during free time. For me, Woodloch has become more than just a workplace-it’s my ‘home away from home.’ I’m beyond grateful to return each season.“
