Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is the gateway to the Arctic and one of the most unique places any student can spend a summer. Under the Midnight Sun you can hike, kayak and explore at 11 PM in full daylight. Visit Chena Hot Springs, take a riverboat cruise, pan for gold, meet sled dogs, and by late August start chasing your first aurora borealis. Denali National Park is just a few hours away.
The community is welcoming, safe and full of seasonal workers from around the globe – you’ll be making friends from dozens of countries within your first week.
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.
