Working in a National Park
An Adventurous Job Experience
Adventure, discovery, hard work, hard play and a unique work-life balance; this is but a part of what you can experience as a valued member of Xanterra Parks & Resorts, whether you're looking to experience the natural wonders of the world for a few months, a year or longer. If you have what we are looking for - a commitment to helping others, respect for individuals and an appreciation of the natural environment - you can start a career at the national parks, now.
Requirements
Employees must be 18 years of age to live and work in the National Parks due to housing facility regulations. Applicants should be aware that elevations of our parks range from 4,000 to 10,000 feet. Persons who anticipate potential difficulty working at such elevations are discouraged from applying.

Although we appreciate the individuality of our employees, we do have appearance standards common to the hospitality industry. Contact us if you have questions regarding our appearance standards.
Lodging
The state parks and resorts operated by Xanterra Parks & Resorts do not provide employee housing. Employees must have their own lodging accommodations. Most resorts are located near small towns with ample housing opportunities at the cost of the employee.
Meals
Specific meal policies may vary from park to park. Please note that because of the large number of meals prepared each day, we cannot accommodate restricted or vegetarian diets.
Meal programs and costs vary by property.
Availability Dates
Availability dates are a key factor in the selection process. Be realistic and specific about these dates as they will be part of your Employment Agreement. Your chances of being hired increase if you are flexible about your job choices and are available for the entire length of the season. Applicants who can work for the majority of the season will be given priority. Very few applicants can be accommodated who must leave prior to the Labor Day weekend.
Recruiting and hiring seasons vary by property. View a complete list of when jobs are posted and when properties open and close.
