Lodging
Volunteer-provided lodging will be split between the Jackson Lake Lodge and the Hatchet Resort (about 20 minutes from the Lodge). Volunteer assigned lodging will be selected at random. Transportation options for volunteers staying at the Hatchet will be available to/from The Lodge. Volunteer lodging begins on Saturday, September 27, and ends on Friday, October 3. Please note that volunteer-provided lodging is not mandatory. If you have other accommodation plans, there is a section to note in your application.
Volunteer Lodging Statement
The volunteer program will look slightly different this year, as Jackson Wild-provided lodging for first-time volunteers will be offered at a 50% discount. We understand that this is a significant change and may impact some volunteers’ ability to participate. Please know that this decision was not an easy one to make. As many in the community know, Jackson Wild is a non-profit organization. With limited resources, we decided on this shift to best support the organization and the 2025 Summit. Many similar festivals do not offer volunteer-provided accommodation, and while we have long gone against this industry standard, we had to reassess what’s feasible for us moving forward. We are currently looking for a sponsor for the volunteer program, and if that effort is successful, this is the first area we will look at, providing a higher discount or fully discounted lodging. Thank you for understanding, and we appreciate your support as we strive to create a meaningful volunteer experience.
