Employment

We are happy to work with students looking for internships, and any of our positions can be tailored into an internship.
Experience is helpful for all positions and required for some. For example, we prefer our marina crew to have experience in outboard motor maintenance. Of course, our cooks should have chef or culinary experience. Knowledge of plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and lawn care is helpful in maintenance. Most important is your desire to learn and your ability to catch on quickly. The average age of a Redfish employee is 21, so maturity is assumed.

Living at Redfish

Because of our remote location, we provide room and board for employees and most live on-site. This, of course, means that we live and work together in close quarters, and accordingly, Redfish management establishes policies that affect an employee’s personal life. The information on this and linked pages should give you a good idea of what life is like at Redfish; however, this information may not be comprehensive. Please consider your willingness to accept direction concerning some of your personal behaviors before applying.
Redfish Lake offers employee activities on a monthly basis.  A lot of outfitters in the area offer complimentary or discounted river or horseback trips, massages, or a scenic flight. The video below offers a great example of what your summer could be like, if you use your time wisely!
