Interested in spending the summer living and working in Glacier National Park?
We are looking for energetic, friendly, hard-working people who enjoy the outdoors and are enthusiastic about sharing that joy with the thousands of visitors to Glacier National Park.
Each season we hire and train individuals as interpretive boat captains, operating our historic boats on the lakes of the Park. These include Lake McDonald, Two Medicine Lake, St Mary Lake, Swiftcurrent & Lake Josephine in Many Glacier. Boat Captains will spend portions of your day working in our ticket office assisting customers with ticket purchases and rentals or leading one of our guided hikes at select locations. We also employ Dock Hands for our Apgar Village Rental operations. And Reservations Agents for our head office in Columbia Falls.
