Employee Experience
We have a diverse range of activities for our staff to enjoy. From mild to wild, there's always something to do. Take out a sailboat, standup paddle board, or a kayak and enjoy the lake for a while. You can play basketball, volleyball, or tennis on the courts. Maybe you'll want to grab a book, play some music, hang with fellow staffers, find somewhere quiet to sketch the lake, or write a letter while curling up in the sun on the boat dock. Maybe you're feeling adventurous and want to take a run up Angora Ridge. The possibilities are endless. Your two days off are the perfect opportunity for extended adventures wherever you want to go. Many staffers take time to explore the beautiful peaks, lakes, and trails of Desolation Wilderness (the pristine national wilderness area literally in our backyard). Groups of staffers have taken overnight trips to visit friends in the Bay Area, trips to hot springs, and visits to the staff favorite Yosemite National Park!
