Need recommendations for summer work in resort for older teen
Hi,
My son is graduating from high school this year. He would like to explore working in a resort somewhere this summer that offers housing and entry level jobs, like table bussing, ticket sales, rental equipment staff, etc. The idea is to work hard, live somewhat independently in a beautiful place with other young people. It's ok if the wages are low. It can be anywhere--in the states or Canada or overseas. He is bilingual (Spanish/English) at a native-speaker level.
We would love to hear from anyone with personal experience, good or bad. Thank you!

Have him apply at our National Parks. Yosemite would be awesome but certainly not the only choice. The kids work for almost nothing but spend their free time exploring the park. It's a fantastic experience.
I did this type of work at a ski resort many moons ago. It was the best experience ever but they don't need too many employees in the summer.
