Steamboat Hot Springs is operated as a non-profit corporation, so your donations are tax deductible.

Steamboat Hot Springs is of among a class of mineral springs that is disappearing in the USA. In the USA today, 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 added to their waters to meet health regulations, and this diminishes the therapeutic affects of natural water. At historic Steamboat Hot Springs, we continue to offer access to our special mineral waters at an affordable price. Our “drain and fill” private tubs allow us to safely offer the water without the addition of chemicals, but this carries a higher cost.In the 1920s and 1930s, there were many hot springs in the USA that were known for their therapeutic waters. Often 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.

In return, we are happy to provide our volunteers with a complimentary limited membership to use our healing waters.Volunteer receptionists help answer the phones, greet clients, and act as cashier and salesperson. Full time staff are available to assist with training.Spa 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.Receptionists and spa ttendants also help with tours of the facility for new clients and prospective clients who stop in.If you are interested in volunteering, inquire at the reception and arrange for an interview with our executive director.
