Our Jobs
Lodging/Housekeeping, Front Desk/Office, Maintenance, Management, and Driving Jobs
Room and Board
Kenai Riverside Lodge:
Since the Kenai Riverside Lodge is on the road system and there is housing available off-site, we do not require staff to live on-site at the lodge. However, we do offer a Meal Service Agreement for all employees. The Meal Service Agreement includes housing (included by Alaska Wildland Adventures at no charge), but there is a $200/month charge for food (pro-rated based on a 30 day month at $6.67/day). Laundry (and detergent) and shower facilities (soap, shampoo, & conditioner) are provided for staff members at no additional charge as well.
Kenai Backcountry Lodge and Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge:
These lodges are in truly remote locations, and the only option is to live on-site in staff housing. Therefore, there is no charge for food or housing for the staff members at Kenai Backcountry Lodge or Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge. Staff space is much more limited at this lodge, due to efforts to keep our impact low, but you cannot beat the locations! Staff Housing includes cabin-tents (2 staff/tent), bathroom and/or an outhouse, shower, and a cabin tent as a staff "hang-out". Limited amount of electricity is available at the lodge since power is supplied by a small hydro-electric system.
Perks
Work and play in Alaska! In 2007, we were recognized by The Wall Street Journal for being one of the Nation’s Top 15 Winning Workplaces!

Getting Here and Getting Around
Once hired, staff can fly into Anchorage where they will be picked up and transported to any of the 3 lodges where they have been hired. If staff would like to have their own car available throughout the summer, then allow a week at least to drive up the Alcan Highway and ask for further directions on how to get to our lodges.
For Fun
We operate 6-12 day natural history guided journeys for adults and families, backcountry lodge packages or accommodations for independent travelers, Kenai River Fishing packages, and rafting and fishing daytrips on the Upper Kenai River.
