     The summer visitor to Alaska is the only reason this business, other businesses in the Park area, and your job exists. At all times we must consider the customer and his/her needs more important than any other aspect of the business.The tourist, most often, has never been to Alaska before and will have a variety of questions and needs that we must have empathy for and try to answer and solve. This portion of your job can be fun and personally rewarding if handled with the right attitude. Visitors will fondly remember a friendly employee. You should be fairly well oriented to the Park and surrounding areas within a few weeks after arriving. This knowledge will help you direct visitors to local attractions, etc.      

     All employees are required to work as needed. You will have the opportunity to set schedule preferences, however we do not guarantee any specific recurring schedules. Priority will be given to single occurrence time off requests. This is to provide people with the opportunity to take backpacking trips, trips to other parts of Alaska, or spend time with family and friends that come to visit. 

     All employees are expected to work continuously from the time they clock in until the time they clock out.  There are always task lists to work on.

     The dress requirements are normal, regular, conservative, comfortable clothes that may include clean non-patched jeans without holes, tears, rips, etc. Sturdy shoes (hiking boots work well) and a Company Polo or T-shirt.

People without happy and positive personalities will not like working for us and will very likely not finish the season nor collect a bonus check. People who party a lot or have a drug problem will definitely not be with us for long and should not bother to apply!We will all be working, eating, sleeping, and generally living together for four months. This requires positive efforts from everyone to ensure we get along well every day. We want everyone to be comfortable in order to make the most of this summer experience. We ask that only those persons who truly enjoy working with people apply. 

     Wages are specific to each position and they’re described in the “Available Positions” section above.  Full time employees will be scheduled 35 paid hours per week for the majority of the summer.  This is after deducting unpaid 30 minute lunch breaks.  Hours may be slightly lower near the end of the season due to reduced business hours.

     The employee cabins give the property an authentic Alaskan vibe, and provide more privacy than the typical dorm style rooms. They are small wood-framed cabins that vary in cosmetic condition, but provide solid shelter. Every cabin has electric heat, lights, outlets, bed frames, mattresses, and a full size refrigerator. There are two people in each cabin and you are free to swap room mates as you make friends. Most cabins contain twin size bunk beds that can be stacked or separated. We have a few full size beds available for couples.

     We have a main house on the property located within 40 yards of your personal cabins. It has a community kitchen and sitting area. There is usually a collection of tableware, pots, pans, spices, and cooking utensils left by previous employees that you are free to use. The only items we provide here are paper towels, dish soap, sponges, trash bags, and cleaning chemicals. You will need to buy your own food. There is a large full-service grocery store less than a mile from camp.  Keep in mind the prices are 30-40% higher than most areas of USA.

There are three showers and four toilets available to the 18 to 22 people living on-site. We provide toilet paper, hand soap, and cleaning supplies. There are two sets of coin laundry machines.

     WiFi is included with your housing. The best signal is in the main house or rec room. We have an outdoor antenna that reaches the cabins, however when everyone is home and online this signal becomes weaker. Due to our remote location the entire camp shares a 40 mbps connection. You can expect lag when everyone is trying to stream music and video at the same time.

There is 4G cell phone service available in the area through AT&T and Verizon. For Verizon to work well your phone must support global roaming because they use AT&T’s network.

     This is an Employee Housing program and does not fall under the standard tenant/landlord laws. If you cause problems at housing or at work you will lose both your job and your housing. Terminated employees are required to pack and vacate the property immediately. We provide transportation to the shuttle stop or train depot for any departing employees.

It is up to all employees to work together to keep the shower house, main log cabin/kitchen area, rec room, common areas and your cabin clean. Your dishes need to be cleaned before leaving the kitchen. If the garbage is full please take it to the dumpster. There will also be unpaid assigned cleaning every week. We split the common areas up by room, put everyone’s name in a hat, and pull names to assign rooms.  We will restart once every name has been pulled. You will all be living together and everyone needs to work together to keep the employee complex a clean, nice and fun place to live all summer! 

     The employee housing and warehouse property is privately owned. For security reasons no non-employees are allowed on the premises without prior approval from management for each visit. Employees will be charged $20/night/guest. Employees are not allowed to have pets on the property.

     The camp must remain a friendly and safe living environment.  Don't bother applying if you have issues getting along with others, drug problems, anger problems, or if you are racist/sexist/homophobic.  We will not parent you or mediate your drama.  If any such issues are brought to management the perpetrator will receive no more than one warning before being asked to leave.

     You will be responsible for your transportation to and from Denali for the season. The main form of transportation to Alaska is by air. It is cheaper to fly into Anchorage (ANC). The other option is to fly into Fairbanks (FAI). We recommend flying into Anchorage as flights are less expensive. The most reasonable place to stay in Anchorage is the www.bentpropinn.com/downtown (1-907-276-3635). If you have a larger budget and you’re feeling adventurous you may want to drive your car up on the Alcan Highway. We strongly suggest you pick up a copy of The Milepost guide if you plan on driving.There are a few options for transportation in and out of the Denali area. The Alaska/Yukon Trails Shuttle can be found at alaskashuttle.com. They offer van service from Fairbanks to Denali to Anchorage. The Alaska Railroad can be found at alaskarailroad.com. If you would like to book a ticket with the Alaska Railroad we can get you 50% off of adventure class.  

     We do not provide transportation outside of the local area under any circumstances. A visit to the closest major city of Fairbanks will cost you a minimum of $75 for a round trip train ticket and requires staying over night.
