Application Process

Thank you for your interest in working with us. We hire 42 seasonal staff each summer. Usually 70% are returnees from a previous summer.

The deadline for applications for the summer of 2012 is January 15, 2012. Early applications are welcomed. Interviewing begins in December and continues until we have all openings filled, usually by mid-March. To apply for any job with us, please submit the three items listed below.

Please email the following three items to  jobs@campdenali.com :

1) A letter that addresses:

  • How you heard about Camp Denali and North Face Lodge.
  • Why you want to work with us.
  • The job(s) you are applying for.
  • The relevant skills and experience you bring.
  • Something about your work ethic.
  • A short description of your near-term goals.
  • An indication of your willingness and ability to commit to two summer seasons or for Naturalist Guides and Coordinators, three summers.
  • Your dates of availability; the first and last day you could be working in Alaska. (Our full season is late May through mid-September.  Strong preference is given to applicants who can work two entire seasons.)

2) A current resume that indicates your education, volunteer, and work experiences plus your contact information.

3) Three people who will be references (professional or personal) for you. Give their names, titles if they have one, relationship to you, and contact information; usually an email address and/or phone number will suffice.

An hour-long phone interview followed by an in-person interview near your location with a Camp Denali representative is required.

We regret we are not able to conduct in-person interviews outside the U.S. and Canada. International applicants must acquire a work visa valid through the season.

Please save your documents in .doc, .docx, .odt or .pdf format. If this is not possible, please include them in the body of the email.

Email your application materials to jobs@campdenali.com.

Thank you,

Martha McPheeters, Personnel Coordinator
