The majority of our business is sending people out on overnight canoe camping trips from three different drop offs.  Weekdays are generally relaxed with small morning shuttle runs in a 15 passenger van. Afternoons are generally spent updating reservations via phone and email until equipment comes in and needs to be picked up.  Friday is more involved with planning and prepping vans and trailers for the big Saturday morning push.  We'll generally have 3 full size buses moving a couple hundred passengers Saturday morning while 4 more vans are moving 150 canoes and kayaks into position ahead of the passengers.  Saturday afternoon and Sunday are very laid back as a handful of shuttles run while staff hang out at the beach collecting boats as people return from their trips.  We have a staff of 4-8 people helping out on weekends.  More typically you'll be working solo Monday-Thursdays with another 1 or 2 people on Fridays.
