Ever wanted to Travel the World and get paid doing it? Welcome to Wander Camp, a Billion Star Campground with over 300 tented accommodations in 6 different locations. We are looking to grow our Camp Team of passionate outdoor enthusiasts who love camping, working hard in nature's most beautiful backdrops, and sharing the great outdoors with others!

We are looking for creative people who want to be a part of a fast growing adventure start-up!

We are looking for both Seasonal Summer Interns (minimum commitment 3 months) and Full Time Employees! Off season duties includes landscaping and preparing property grounds for the following season, renovating trailers, remodeling properties, and other onsite work (such as housekeeping for our sister properties that are year round rentals).

Perks: Perks include traveling and living in some of the most beautiful US National Parks. Onsite Housing is provided in either tents or trailers (with shared employee facilities such as kitchen and restrooms). Come join our team and have a summer experience you will never forget!

Compensation: Compensation starts at $15-$20/hr (dependent on whether or not onsite housing is needed)
