✨ 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!
