Part-time Housekeeping positions are available at Tilikum.

Creating space for friends to gather

Tilikum is currently accepting applications for Housekeeping Assistants. These are part-time year-round positions, but hours will vary with the season.

Tilikum is seeking Christian men and women who are at least 14 years old to contribute to the spiritual growth and physical comfort of guests who are on retreat at the camp.

This is very part-time work. The Camp has more guests in the summer and fewer in the winter, so we can’t guarantee hours to work each week. The schedule is completely flexible, which is ideal for the full-time parent looking for an evening away from the house, the recently retired interested in a few mornings a month, or the busy student looking to work during holidays and weekends.

The work is physical, with lots of walking, standing, climbing steps, and carrying.

Joining the Tilikum Lodge team comes with perks like permission to use the grounds and tuition remission for some camps.
