The Employee Experience
Denali is one of the most dynamic and seasonal operations there is. You'll go from having just a handful of people in the area to thousands of employees and guests, almost overnight. At Denali Park Village, you have the amazing experience of seeing a ghost town truly come alive. With that in mind, it is a big job opening a hotel! It takes hard-working, flexible, dynamic individuals to be part of our team.
Your success at Denali Park Village will show you're a quick learner who loves the challenge and excitement of a seasonal operation. You're open to helping out the team wherever needed. After the hotel is open, you'll get into the swing of daily tasks and spend your free time becoming the resident expert at your new home. You'll experience the unique opportunity to view Alaska's midnight sun and northern lights. Enjoy nature sightings including moose, caribou, and bears. Take advantage of local discounts and activities such as rafting, hiking, fishing, ATV tours, flightseeing tours, and more!
As September draws near, you'll see the area begin to slow down, fall colors return, and will begin to look for your next destination, which could easily be one of our winter parks!
Denali may be just one summer of fun, or it could take you down a path of adventure and travel for years to come. Either way, for an adventure-seeker or hospitality aficionado, it'll be an experience of a lifetime!
Ideal Candidate
Our teammates are adaptable in dynamic environments, thrive as self-starters, and genuinely enjoy creating amazing experiences for our guests.
If you're comfortable with being a bit uncomfortable, Denali may be perfect for you. After all, this is the Alaskan frontier! Seasonal life in Alaska may not for everyone, but for the right person, it can be the best experience you'll ever have.
Season Openings for Summer 2023 are now live here!
Room and Board
$15.00 per day covers your housing cost and three meals a day, which is payroll deducted.
Meals include several hot options, a salad bar, and grab & go items.
Room sizes vary between dormitory buildings and properties. However, for the most part, rooms are considered small. All employee housing units come with the basic and necessary furnishings for the summer. This includes a bed, a shared dresser, and bedding. Hangers and space are limited. Please plan accordingly.
Our location is remote, and while we do offer wireless access in most employee areas and housing units, you will not be able to stream video or download. AT&T and Verizon are the main cell phone service providers. Due to the location, connectivity can be a challenge.
Employee Perks
As part of our Denali team, you'll have access to:
- Discounts on food & beverage
- Free and discounted bus tours into the park
- Discounts on retail product
- Hotel and lodging discounts
- Weekly activities
- Hiking
- White water rafting
- Flightseeing tours
- Fishing
- Zipline
We have courtesy transportation to the Denali Bus Depot and Visitor Center for our employees who don’t have a car. Several of the area's restaurants and bars also have low-cost shuttles.
With so much to see and so many fun things to do, this work experience allows for many new memories to be made and thrilling experiences to be had!
Getting Here and Getting Around
Tickets to Alaska can be expensive. Typically, the earlier you purchase the better. Make your room and shuttle reservations early. Often employees purchase a one-way ticket to start, in case they change their end date, or decide to road trip home with new friends instead.
Where to fly:
Anchorage or Fairbanks. Anchorage (5 hours away) is a bigger city with more services, including more options on transportation to the park, but Fairbanks is closer (2 hours) with a shorter distance to travel.
From Anchorage or Fairbanks, you can take a shuttle to Denali National Park.
