Changeover Day at Amigos – A Team Effort

Every Saturday is Changeover Day at Amigos, a vital day for ensuring the camp is refreshed, spotless, and welcoming for our incoming guests. This is a team-wide initiative where everyone plays an important role.

Saying Goodbye with Warmth

Our Saturday begins with heartfelt farewells to departing guests, ensuring their last moments at Amigos are just as memorable as their stay.

🧹 The Deep Clean Mission – All Hands on Deck

At around 10:00 AM, after check-out, the entire Amigos team comes together for a focused deep cleaning session for 1-2 hours. This is a mandatory task for all team members, regardless of department. Here's what we’ll tackle together:

  • Stripping old bedding and preparing fresh linens.
  • Sweeping and tidying guest tents to make them welcoming.
  • Cleaning and refreshing all shared spaces (kitchen, bathrooms, lounge areas and Surf).
  • Ensuring every corner of the camp is spotless and inviting.

This collaborative effort continues until all tasks are completed, with the aim of presenting our best to the arriving guests.

🍽️ Dish Duty – A Daily Team Responsibility

Throughout the week, we also practice teamwork at mealtimes. Each team member contributes 15 minutes to dishwashing after breakfast and dinner. Since our camp operates with a temporary kitchen setup and no industrial dishwasher, this small effort makes a big difference in keeping our space functional and clean.

By working together, we ensure that Amigos remains a welcoming and enjoyable environment for both our guests and our team. Let's make every Saturday count with team spirit, cooperation, and dedication!

Benefits:

This position comes with a range of benefits designed to make your experience with us both enjoyable and fulfilling.
