Why St. Mary Village?
St. Mary is a tiny mountain village with an enormous backyard. Within minutes you can hike to St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls, kayak on glacier-fed lakes, spot moose, mountain goats and bighorn sheep, and watch some of the clearest, darkest starry skies in North America. On longer breaks, students often road-trip to Many Glacier, Logan Pass, Yellowstone, or even across the border to Canada’s Banff and Waterton parks.
Pursuit is one of the most respected hospitality companies in North America’s national parks, so this job also looks fantastic on your CV – international hospitality experience, English practice with native speakers, and real teamwork under pressure.
About Montana
Montana is big-sky country - Yellowstone, Glacier National Park and endless mountains. Most students work in park lodges, resorts and gateway towns, surrounded by some of America's most dramatic nature.
