Working in a National Park
Jobs
There are no "easy jobs" with Xanterra Parks & Resorts. The work at times can be hard and demanding. Xanterra Parks & Resorts recognizes that every job and every employee is important in helping us achieve our goals of guest service and satisfaction. Many jobs are considered entry-level positions. Keep in mind this is where you may start. We advocate a strong promote-from-within practice so advancement opportunities are ample. It's not where you start, but where you end up that matters.
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.

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.
