About the employer
Storibox Technologies works inside Niagara Falls State Park, on Goat Island in New York. The team photographs and films guests as they enter the Cave of the Winds, then shows them their experience afterwards so they can buy the images. It is mostly customer service and guest experience rather than photography.
You'll be outdoors at all times, though mainly in shaded areas, with summer temperatures around 80–90°F. Pay is $17.00 per hour plus commission. The polo shirt is provided; you wear black or khaki pants or shorts and comfortable black footwear. Good English is essential, as you'll meet visitors from all over the world.

Why Goat Island, Niagara Falls?
Goat Island sits between the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls — it’s one of the closest places on Earth you can stand to a natural wonder. Your “office” neighbors include Terrapin Point, the Cave of the Winds, and the mist-soaked walkways of Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the USA.
Off the clock, you’ll have easy access to Buffalo (about 30 minutes away), and Toronto, New York City, and Chicago are all within reach for weekend and end-of-program travel. The Niagara region is packed with international students every summer, so making friends is effortless.
About New York
New York State runs from the energy of New York City to the Adirondacks, lakes and Niagara Falls. Students work in city hotels and restaurants as well as mountain and lake resorts upstate.
