Employee Recreation Coordinator, Yellowstone National Park (internship)

Yellowstone National Park employees not only work hard, they play hard, too. With over 2 million acres of land to explore, beautiful animals and half of the world’s thermal features you’ll never run out of exciting sights to discover!  

Yellowstone National Park Lodges runs lodging and restaurant operations at 6 different locations within the park, which are staffed by thousands of seasonal employees each year. The recreation department is responsible for planning and implementing employee activities, special events and trips for these employees, as well the rental of camping and hiking equipment.

Candidates interested in recreation department positions in Yellowstone are drawn to the unique opportunity to work in the world’s first national park and should be enthusiastic about Xanterra’s sustainability initiatives and mission to provide ‘legendary hospitality with a softer footprint’. Employees in the recreation department are not only highly knowledgeable about the layout and operations of their own location, but also possess a vast knowledge of the history and geography of Yellowstone as a whole. These individuals should be passionate about engaging others in community events, as well as exploring and learning about Yellowstone’s main attractions and extensive backcountry.
