It’s more than a job at Lakeside

At YMCA Lakeside we provide high quality residential and day experiences to over 12,000 people each year. When our customers visit Lakeside they overcome challenges, defeat fear, develop relationships and build the skills and character traits that serve them throughout life.

We’re a happy and hard-working team with a focus on delivering enjoyable and challenging programmes that change young people’s lives for the better. Based on the south western shores of Lake Windermere, in 100 acres of private woodland, we provide high-quality outdoor adventure holidays and development programmes for schools, youth groups and corporate clients and families.

We make the most of our natural location, offering more than 50 water and land-based activities ranging from sailing and kayaking to fell walking and abseiling. If you’re interested in joining us for the season or if you’re looking for a career at Lakeside, please browse our current vacancies.
