About Voyageur Canoe Outfitters Staff
Voyageur Canoe Outfitters hires 8 to 10 seasonal employees each year.For your information:
We look for a few outgoing, happy-go-lucky, energetic, hard working people for a summer of intense, but fun, work. Our crew sacrifices television and the majority of entertainment for the summer for a great back yard (the wilderness). Work includes cleaning gear, packing, transporting, cooking, housekeeping, and washing canoes.
What we're about...
We are Mike and Sue Prom owners and operators of Voyageur Canoe Outfitters. Our love of nature brought us to the end of the Gunflint Trail. We live happily here year round with our daughter Abby and son Josh. We have a great backyard that we try to play in as often as possible. We enjoy outdoor activities such as; canoeing, fishing, hiking, biking, exploring, swimming, hunting, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and anything else outside.
We both share the same desire to own and operate our own business. We are very hardworking individuals and receive a lot of satisfaction from our hard work. We enjoy interacting with people and especially love introducing people to canoe camping in the wilderness. We strive to offer exceptional customer service because this is what we want when we are vacationing. We direct all of our attention to our guests, because if they weren't here, we wouldn't be either.
What we expect from you...
We need each of our crew members commitment to excellent service. We will help train you in what we expect from you this summer.
