I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Whit & Chap for this amazing experience! They're some of the kindest people I've ever met. The passion and intention they put into the lodge is contagious! They welcomed me into their little paradise and made me feel at home. They created a cozy studio for volunteers and always made sure I was safe, had everything I needed, and offered me many delicious and nutritious meals. I absolutely recommend volunteering at the lodge to anyone who loves nature, perhaps needs to slow down, or simply wants to make an impact and enjoy peaceful days 💞
