Employment Opportunities
Each summer, Loch Lyme Lodge brings together international students and local employees to work at our family-run cabin resort in Lyme, New Hampshire. Set on the shores of Post Pond, we’re surrounded by the hills and forests of the Upper Valley, just 10 miles from Dartmouth College and within easy reach of Vermont’s Green Mountains and New Hampshire’s White Mountains. It’s truly one of the most beautiful places in the country, and a wonderful place to spend the summer.
Working at Loch Lyme Lodge
Many of our guests come to Loch Lyme Lodge to get away from busy schedules and city life and spend a week or two enjoying a simpler pace with family and friends. Days here are filled with swimming, tennis, biking, picking berries, campfires, and time outdoors on Post Pond. Working here means becoming part of that experience. We’re a small, hands-on operation, so everyone pitches in and no two days are exactly the same.
We are looking for students who:
-
Enjoy meeting new people and are excited to experience life and work in rural New Hampshire.
-
Have a working knowledge of English and want to become more comfortable speaking it with coworkers and guests.
-
Have a strong work ethic and are willing to take on a variety of jobs, from cleaning and preparing cabins for arriving families to helping with meals, events, grounds, and gardens.
-
Are dependable, flexible, and willing to help wherever they’re needed.
Life at the Lodge
We try to create a welcoming, family-style atmosphere where everyone is included. When schedules allow, we organize trips to hiking trails, shopping areas, movies, and other local destinations. There are also occasional concerts and gatherings right here at the Lodge.
If you play an instrument, bring it. If you enjoy photography, hiking, swimming, paddling, or simply being outdoors, you’ll find plenty to do here. We also have high-speed internet, so staying connected with friends and family back home is easy.
Loch Lyme Lodge can be a wonderful place to spend a summer, meet people from around the world, improve your English, and experience a beautiful part of New England. But rural resort life isn’t for everyone, and we want students to know what to expect before committing:
-
Lyme is a small, rural community. There are no bars, clubs, or much nightlife nearby.
-
Transportation is limited. You should expect to spend much of your time at or around the Lodge.
-
We do not typically offer overtime, though additional hours may sometimes be available during particularly busy periods.
-
We depend on our seasonal staff for the entire agreed-upon period and expect students to honor the dates and terms of their signed contracts.
-
Housing is provided free of charge while you are employed under contract with Loch Lyme Lodge.
For the right person, it’s a pretty unusual summer: hard work, lots of time outside, people from all over the world, and a lake about a hundred feet away. There are worse offices.
