Live and Work Arctic on Alaska's Coastal Plain!

Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain during the winter reveals the undeniable power of the white season --- a season that inspires awe and humility --- a time when and a place where the most adaptable of humans, plants and animals sustain life. The brown season of spring in Alaska's Arctic is a short but welcome reminder that summer quickly approaches --- a glimpse of brown through the white snow begins to animate a frozen landscape. Summer's green season rules supreme as life flourishes in 24-hour arctic sunlight --- summer is a time of hurried excitement in a harrowing attempt to harness enough energy for the year's remaining nine months. The red season falls quickly on the tundra pulling a blanket of red over the land just weeks before a blanket of white covers Alaska's Arctic once again --- fall is a time to lay the groundwork for a healthy sustainable year ahead. White, brown, green and red, the seasons of life in Alaska's Arctic makes it an icon of America's vast and distant wilderness. Alaska's North Coast is a place of simple splendor and passionate inspiration for those intrepid travelers who venture off-the-beaten-path.

Deadhorse camp, located at mile 415 of the Dalton Highway, sits atop a 7.5 acre gravel pad accompanied by unlimited tundra to the west, east and south. Directly north of Deadhorse camp is the contractor community of Deadhorse, the Prudhoe Bay oil fields and the Arctic Ocean at the Beaufort Sea.

Deadhorse Camp offers camp-style accommodations for the traveler to Prudhoe Bay in a cozy 17-room camp. With true to the region camp-style accommodations, Deadhorse Camp has just what the traveler to this region is looking for --- a clean, comfortable place to stay and good food.

Deadhorse Camp is open from 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week. It is open year-round, offering visitor accommodations during summer months and pipeline worker housing during winter months. Quaint and remote, Deadhorse camp is sure to offer surprises at every turn.

Recreation

Deadhorse Camp offers self-directed recreation options such as a leisurely walk amid tundra flora, peaceful reflections by the Sagavanirktok River or for the brave, a valiant hike across limitless tundra. For many, living in a wilderness area is recreation aplenty.

For others, just a few steps out the camp's door lay the gateway to Alaska's arctic coast. The most remote of the camps, the right candidate will be one who is excited by the idea of remaining in camp for several months at a time. If you are the type of person who enjoys reading, painting or countless other self-motivated tasks, Deadhorse Camp will stand out as the obvious choice.

Transportation Info

Location: Dalton Highway Mile 415

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

As part of the season completion transportation bonus, Deadhorse 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], Deadhorse Camp is able to arrange transportation from additional US cities. A season is defined by four full months of work.

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