Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is the gateway to the Arctic and one of the most extraordinary places you can spend a summer. In June, the sun barely sets – you can hike, kayak or play midnight baseball under a bright sky at 1 a.m. By late August and September, the skies darken just enough for the Aurora Borealis to appear above the lodge. On your days off you can soak in the famous Chena Hot Springs, visit Denali National Park, take a riverboat cruise, pan for gold, or meet Alaskan huskies at a sled-dog kennel. This is not just a job – it is a once-in-a-lifetime story you will tell for years.
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.
