Program Details

At El Ranchito Surfcamp 🏝️, our focus is always on the guest experience. We want every guest to feel like part of our family — welcomed with kindness, warmth, and care. As a volunteer, you play a big role in this. Being friendly, respectful, and social is not just encouraged, it’s essential to being part of our team 🤝.

For the Housekeeping position 🧹, your main responsibility is to keep everything clean and organized for our guests. A clean and well-kept environment is one of the most important parts of making guests feel comfortable and happy. Due to the tropical atmosphere 🌴 — with bugs and animals around — strict cleaning guidance is very important. But don’t worry: we provide training so you’ll know exactly how to do it ✅.

Most of the work is independent, which gives you the freedom to manage your routine, but it also requires motivation, reliability, and good work ethics 💪. We are looking for people who take pride in doing things well, enjoy contributing, and bring positive energy to the team.

If you love the ocean 🌊, don’t mind simple living, and want to join a surf-family vibe while helping us keep the place beautiful for guests, this is the right program for you! ✨
