Transportation Info

Location: Dalton Highway Mile 175

Recognizing that, for many, airfare is a major obstacle to summer work in Alaska, Coldfoot Camp offers a season completion transportation bonus.

As part of the season completion transportation bonus, Coldfoot Camp provides round-trip air transportation from select cities within the United States and Canada. Once you have arrived in camp and begin working, $500 will be withheld from your first paycheck(s) to cover the cost of the ticket. This amount will be reimbursed to you at the end of the season as a season completion transportation bonus. For an additional fee of $125-$250 [non-reimbursed], Coldfoot Camp is able to arrange transportation from additional US cities. A season is defined by four full months of work.

Coldfoot Camp works closely with each coworker to arrange initial transportation to camp and final transportation from camp.
