Steamboat is a natural Hot Springs of a class that is disappearing in this country. In the 1920s and 1930s there were numerous Hot Springs known for their therapeutic waters. Many of these were managed by doctors who offered massage and other natural healing treatments in combination with use of the waters. In Europe these establishments continue to thrive, and research there shows that people who continue to use natural Hot Springs treatments tend to have fewer health problems than those who do not.

 

Unfortunately, in this country many of the old facilities have fallen into disrepair and have been closed. Others have been converted to fashionable resorts that have lost their therapeutic focus.In some cases, chemicals are addd to the water to meet Health Department requirements. This deminishes the therapeutic affects of natural water.

 

At out historic Steamboat Hot Springs we are attempting to continue to offer access to our special mineral waters at a reasonable price affordable to all. Our "drain and fill" private tubs allow us to safely offer the water without the addition of chemicals. Our historic (old) building has undergone extensive renovation, but the task is never ending.  We have rebuilt the tub rooms and are in the process of upgrading the therapy rooms. There is a long list of work still to be done.

 

The property belongs to the International Community of Christ, which is a 501(c)(3) organization, and the Hot Springs is operated by a non-profit corporation.

 

If you have enjoyed the services at the Hot Springs, please tell your friends about us. Advertising is expensive, and word of mouth is much more effective.

 

Our front desk and tub room attendants are volunteers. We ask that these volunteers make a minimum commitment of 4 hours per week for one assigned shift. Shifts are from noon to 4pm, or from 4pm to 8pm. We will train you.  We are happy to provide our volunteers with a complimentary membership at the Hot Springs.

 

Tub room attendants prepare the private tub rooms for clients, filling the tub with geothermal mineral water, checking the temperature, supplying towels and drinking water, cleaning the tub and tub room after they have been used, and helping with laundry. Attendants also help with tours of the facility for new clients and prospective clients who stop by.

 

Front desk volunteers help answer the phones, greet clients as they come in, and act as cashier. Full time staff are usually available to assist with front desk tasks when needed.

 

Inquire at the front desk about the shift times with curret openings for staff assistant volunteers, and arrange for an interview with our Administrator.
