Come spend your summer in America’s first and BEST National Park- Yellowstone National Park! Students should have an interest in nature, hiking, camping and enjoying the outdoors. Yellowstone National Park features over 1,100 miles of hiking trails, mountains, rivers and streams, wildlife, and geological features including geysers, hot springs and more! Xanterra Parks and Resorts is the Nation’s largest park-management company with operations in seven national parks and many other resorts.
All students will live and work in one of the villages within Yellowstone National Park with other J-1 Work and Travel students and employees from the United States. All villages have their own Employee Dining Room and recreational areas. Yellowstone National Park plans many employee activities, sports leagues and more throughout the summer.
*Yellowstone hires several different job types. However, the majority of students will be offered Hospitality Crew positions. Specific positions and village location will be determined upon arrival and based on the employer’s needs at that time.
