About Under Canvas
Under Canvas is GLAMPING, camping for those who don't like camping. Our staff generally are those who DO camp...often, and want to share that experience with guests who might not have ever enjoyed camping before. Share the love! Share the outdoors! Share the bison, elk, beavers, moose, lizards, and birds that come with camping away from the city.
For those who love the outdoors, we offer more than a job- we offer an experience. Spend the spring, summer, and fall working and living right outside beautiful national parks. We encourage our staff to spend their off-duty time hiking, biking, rafting, riding, and experiencing everything these locations have to offer. When on-duty, our staff's enthusiasm for outdoor adventures shows in every experience we have with our guests.
Under Canvas's core company values are:
Respect - everyone matters
Perseverance - we never give up
Adventurous - experiences are everything
Resourceful - we make a little go a long way
Innovation - breaking the mold is what we do
The Employee Experience
Live and work by either Arches, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Zion, Smoky, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore,or Yellowstone National Parks! Enjoy everything outdoors every day of the season.
Under Canvas expects all staff to be adventurous, respectful, and resourceful. We work hard and play hard for the short time we have to enjoy the amazing views, weather, mountains, and sunsets. In conjunction with our vendors, we offer staff the opportunity to experience the same local adventures we offer our guests: rafting, horseback riding, zip lines, and more.
WE WORK OUTSIDE! We love the outdoors and we get healthy amounts of Vitamin D every single day- it's part of the job description! You will never be cooped up in a cubicle, staring at a computer, or standing behind a desk. Expect to be out, moving, helping, standing, bending, carrying, and generally not standing still... ever.
Employee housing is available and FREE at all locations.

FREE Employee housing is available at all UC locations. All housing is located off-site (you will need your own transportation to and from work), with the exception of Yellowstone which offers all housing on the property. Most housing is shared accommodations based on the number of staff who take advantage of this offer- be prepared to share a bedroom, bath, and cooking facilities.
Locations with restaurants (Yellowstone, Zion, Mt. Rushmore, Grand Canyon, and Smoky Mountains) offer employee meal discounts. 50% off apps, salads, sandwiches, and burgers. 25% off entrees. No discounts offered on alcohol.
Employee Perks
We offer staff the same adventures we offer our guests- rafting, horseback riding, zip line, etc. On your off-time, the National Parks offer unlimited hiking and site-seeing options.
Get fantastic employee discounts when you visit other UC properties by yourself, or with family.
WORK OUTSIDE! This is the best benefit, by far. Sunshine and fresh air, all the time.
Getting Here and Getting Around
If you plan to work at our Yellowstone location, you will not need a personal vehicle on a daily basis. Restaurant, housing, and work are all located on the same property. You will need to find transportation to the actual work-site when you begin your employment and find a solution for reaching town for groceries and personal items if needed. Many staff members car-pool or offer shuttle services to other employees.
You will be most comfortable having your own personal vehicle at all other UC locations as staff housing is around 20 minutes from the camp. Public transportation is rare in the more remote locations in which our camps are located.
