Spring - Fall workampers needed - Welaka, FL

Would you like to spend time on the St. John’s River in a peaceful setting where you can boat, fish, kayak, canoe, bird watch, hike or simply relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets?  Welaka Lodge is a very small “Old Florida” style resort in natural surroundings with a pool, 8 upscale cottages & 18 RV sites in the small rural town of Welaka.   

This seasonal workamper position will be from early spring until the first week of November and will include housekeeping in our beautiful cottages, maintenance, pool and grounds keeping duties. Those applying for the housekeeping position should have an eye for detail and exceptional cleaning skills. Both parties should be in good health with no physical limitations.

Since we only require 20 hours of work per couple, you’ll have lots of time for fun activities.  In addition to the river, you’ll be less than an hour from great beaches, historic Old St. Augustine, Marineland, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park & lots of other attractions! Summers are pretty warm here, but we have a beautiful pool that’s cooled in the summer and heated in the winter, so it’s always comfortable.

We are a friendly ‘community’.  On Thursday nights, we have a Pizza/pot luck night at the pool bar area.  Many nights during the cooler months are spent around our large community campfire and during summer, we enjoy the pool together.

In exchange for the 20 hours, we offer a 50 amp full hookup site with wi-fi. You’ll also receive reduced food and beverage rates at our onsite Boathouse Dock Bar.  Schedules are made every Friday for the upcoming week based on the number of cottages to be cleaned, so there are not set work days.  Some weeks we work fewer hours & others more, but work hours would average 20 hours per week per couple. We try to schedule couples together at least one day, but it is not always possible. Please note that with the exception of tips received, we do not offer monetary compensation.    

In addition to our seasonal bar, there is another restaurant in Welaka within walking distance.  A Dollar General Store is located right in town and Walmart, Lowe’s, major grocery stores etc. are 20-35 minutes from us.
