Employee (past & present) comments:
"Through my employment at Horne
Lake I had the opportunity to push my own limits and
boundaries and then share that experience with other people in
one of the most beautiful settings in British Columbia.
I got to make a living doing what I would pay to do.
I'm sure that decades from now I'll still look back
at my summer spent at Horne Lake as one of my best adventures."
- Lindsay, Camp Instructor / Cave Guide "We spend a lot of time at work, so when I pursued
employment I sought to accomplish two life goals: To
get paid to do what I would pay to do, and have a new
experience each year that feels like I am
INSIDE national geographic. At Horne Lake, I could
certainly accomplish both! I spent many hours hanging off rock faces offering hundreds
of kids new and awesome experiences, a great deal of time
rappelling down waterfalls in caves, also teaching canoeing
and wilderness skills -- sometimes all in one day! I have no reservations in saying Horne Lake is a
wonderful, wonderful place to work. I always felt
privileged to be employed within a stunning provincial park
while being immersed in a community-oriented staff. It
demands a lot no doubt, and a sense of commitment I
didn't even know I had in me, but the benefits that I have
gained from working at Horne Lake without a doubt outweigh the
challenge. Besides, how many people can say they are a
caving guide for a living?!" -Megan, Training
Coordinator "The
lake is unlike any job you've ever had. It will literally be
impossible to convey the impact that this job has on you. It
is definitely not easy but then again the best things in life rarely
are. If you want an employment opportunity that is truly out
of this world, then this is the place for you."
- Andrew, Rock Instructor and Cave Guide
"Working
at Horne Lake was more than just a fun job, don't get me wrong
it was a blast, but Horne Lake taught me many great life
lessons and helped me grow as a person. The best part is the
opportunity to meet people from many different walks of life
every day. There is a really feeling of family, the whole crew
forms strong bonds, and helps make even the bad days alright.
I am proud to tell people about my time at Horne Lake, and
recommend it to anyone who will listen to me. I will always
remember my time there as a time of learning, fun, and
friendships." - Emily, Office "My experience as a Horne Lake guide and instructor
has challenged me and helped me grow as a confident leader.
These leadership skills that have helped me in other work
related and education settings. Working at Horne Lake is
perfect for anyone interested in a diverse and challenging
job. This exciting atmosphere is based around adventure
learning and environmental sustainability." - John,
Camp Instructor and Cave Guide "Best employer to work for ... this is my fourth
season and would encourage anyone who wants a rewarding job to
apply." - Martin, Campground Manager
