Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is the ultimate Work & Travel adventure destination. In summer you’ll experience up to 21 hours of daylight – meaning your free time never really ends. Explore Denali National Park, soak in the famous Chena Hot Springs, paddle the Chena River, visit the Arctic Circle, and by late August start watching the sky for the aurora borealis. The lodge sits directly on the riverbank, surrounded by boreal forest, with a friendly small-city atmosphere and a huge international student community every season.
