Located on 87 beautiful acres, ARC is a spiritual retreat center for individuals and groups. ARC is a spiritual home not only to its guests but also its resident community. As such, it is imperative that members are able to support each other not only in the day-to-day tasks of running a retreat center but also in their personal and spiritual development.

Day-to-day tasks include: gardening, trail maintenance, supporting the kitchen staff, and/or supporting thr Housekeeping Community Leader.

Their daily tasks include performing the day-to-day functions of running a lodge and business on 90 acres of land and can include but are not limited to washing dishes, hauling and splitting wood, or tidying.
