Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is one of the most unique destinations in the entire Work & Travel USA program. In summer, the sun barely sets – you’ll experience up to 21 hours of daylight, which means your free time feels twice as long. The lodge sits right on the Chena River, minutes from downtown Fairbanks.
On your days off you can soak in the famous Chena Hot Springs, take a day trip to Denali National Park, go canoeing or riverboat cruising, hike under the Arctic sky, visit the Arctic Circle, and – as the season turns toward fall – catch your very first Northern Lights. Very few students get to say they worked in Alaska. You will.
About Alaska
Alaska is the ultimate Work & Travel adventure - glaciers, Denali, midnight sun and untouched wilderness. Most students work in remote lodges, national-park resorts and on tour boats, earning some of the highest summer wages in the country.
