✨ If you've stayed with us recently, chances are you've met Josh and Carter!

Last night, we celebrated our incredible volunteers with a farewell dinner. 🎉

As they head off on their next adventures, we want to thank them for everything they've done during one of our busiest months of the year. From keeping the lodge spotless, yard work and painting projects while working together as an amazing team. They made every guest feel welcome and went above and beyond every single day.

Their hard work, positive attitudes, and dedication made a real difference, and we truly couldn't have gotten through July without them.

🙏 Thank you, Josh and Carter, for an extraordinary job. We appreciate you both more than you know and we can't wait to see where life takes you next. You'll always be welcome back at Up The Creek!

We're looking for a volunteer to join us at Up The Creek Backpacker's Lodge for the month of August, starting August 1.

🏡 Accommodation in our private caravan on the property
✨ Full access to the lodge facilities
🌲 Forest trails in walking distance
🏖️ Beach just a 10-minute walk away
🚌 Walking distance to the bus route
⛴️ Only a 40-minute ferry ride from Vancouver
📅 Two days off each week

We're looking for someone reliable, friendly, and happy to help with the day-to-day operation of a welcoming backpacker's lodge.

🚴‍♀️ Last weekend our bike rack was full.

Road cyclists, mountain bikers, weekend adventurers... it seems more and more people are discovering what locals already know: the Sunshine Coast is an incredible place to ride. 🌲🌊

Many cyclists make the journey from Vancouver, bringing their bikes on the ferry and riding the Coast's scenic roads all the way to Roberts Creek. 🚲⛴️

Base yourself here, spend the day exploring coastal roads, forest trails, and ocean views, then come back and relax before another day of adventure. ☀️

Don't have your own bike with you? We also offer complimentary bikes for guests to explore Roberts Creek and the surrounding area. 🚲

Whether you're riding for the challenge, the scenery, or simply the joy of being outdoors, we've got a place to rest between adventures.

Have you ridden the Sunshine Coast before?
