In Episode 320, Joanne Schmidt invites Workampers to spend a season in Alaska

Today, we’re heading to Alaska to learn about an incredible Workamping opportunity not too far from the largest mountain in America.

Joanne Schmidt is the owner of Denali RV Park and Motel, which is located just outside of Healy, Alaska. Situated 12 minutes from the entrance to Denali National Park, this family-friendly park is looking for Workampers to join their team for the upcoming season.

In the interview, Joanne shares what makes this location so special, and she talks about the variety of Workamping positions available right now.

If you’ve ever dreamed of working in one of the most breathtaking places in America, tune in to learn why spending a summer in Alaska can be a truly unforgettable experience.

Joanne plans to hire a mix of Workampers, including singles, couples and even families. She’s currently recruiting for several different positions:

  • Guest relations and office staff Workampers often serve as the first point of contact for guests by assisting with reservations, check-ins, and answering visitor questions. Some retail experience is a plus because the park also operates a camp store and gift shop.
  • To handle repairs and maintenance, the park is especially looking for people with handyman abilities. Experience with electrical, septic, plumbing and general maintenance is highly valued.
  • Housekeeping is a crucial role in ensuring the park and its accommodations maintain high-quality standards. Workampers will clean motel rooms, cabins, and other facilities to provide a welcoming environment for guests.
  • With expansion plans underway, including new cabins, glamping tents, and a guest pavilion, Workampers with construction or general labor skills will be a great asset this season.

All positions are paid at competitive wages, starting at $16 per hour, with some roles offering up to $18, based on experience. The park provides free RV sites and housing options, making it an even more attractive opportunity for Workampers looking to work and explore Alaska without incurring additional living costs.
