Oyama Lake Eco Lodge
If you are into off-grid living you will love our lakeside lodge! We have 18 cabins, 6 glamping tents and a converted school bus. While we are applying for a solar grant we currently power our camp with a diesel generator and 24 battery bank system.
We are friendly and eccentric people who love hosting all kinds of people from all over the world. When we have the time we also go on pontoon rides and eat meals together. We supply lots of fresh healthy groceries for your kitchen shared with other volunteers and staff members.

About the experience in: Lake Country, Canada
United Kingdom
Oyama lake is great if you love peace and quiet and don’t mind working hard. The work is simple, the hours are not much and are fixed so you get lots of time off. It is only really hard work in the busy season and if there aren’t other worldpackers. Nickie and Harry were great hosts, they’re lovely people. You will enjoy it there the most if you like kayaking, swimming, and paddle boarding etc, can drive, and want to be away from civilisation. If you can’t drive it’s hard to get around so if you’re going for a long time bear that in mind. If you would like more information please message me!

Nickie, Harry (the owners) and Jamy, Kali, and Bruce (staff) were just awesome!
Oyama Lake Lodge is perfect for escaping from the city. You will have the opportunity to connect with nature in unimaginable ways. Also, ideally for reconnecting with yourself and developing your spirituality.
A perfect day for me was go to work, after that take a kayak trip around the lake, listening to my favorite my favs songs, while I was watching the sunset. My only recommendation for future volunteers is to "work hard and play hard!" Wish you luck 😃🫶🏼.
