Lake Gkula Camping Volunteer

LAKE GKULA CAMPING VOLUNTEERING – between 13 and 29 September
Volunteering at Lake Gkula Camping is a great way to contribute to the relaxed vibe of the camp, whether you can help on weekends or want to come for a longer stay and get fully immersed in the camping experience. It’s also a great opportunity for backpackers to gain valuable work experience. The Camp is held at Woodfordia, home of the Woodford Folk Festival, a beautiful cultural parkland with rainforest, wildlife and plenty of space to explore!

We need a small number of volunteers to assist us in running the campgrounds, the lake, the Lake Gkula Bar & BBQ, and the General Store & Café.

There are two possible ways to volunteer:
OPTION 1:
For a small donation of time, 4 – 5 hours per day for at least 3 days (up to 6 days), you can come and enjoy Lake Gkula Camping and know that you’re supporting Woodfordia’s campground. In return, you’ll receive one healthy meal each day you volunteer plus an extra day to camp without any rostered shift. A great option if you only have a small amount of time but still want to be part of it.
OPTION 2:
For anyone with more time on their hands, we have “the backpacker package”. Commit to 7 days volunteering, for 4 - 5 hours per day and in return, you’ll receive a free week of camping. You’ll also receive 3 basic meals per day while working, access to cooking facilities for when you aren’t working, and access to an affordable laundromat.
Volunteers are also needed to assist us in preparing the site in the setup (9 - 13 September) and cleaning up afterwards (30 Sept - 2 October).

Roles available are:
- barista
- bartender (RSA not needed, experience preferred but not essential)
- cafe helper
- general store cashier
- lake observer (swim qualifications and current CPR required)
- lake reception
- site crew
- s-bend warrior (amenities cleaner)
