Dear Families!
We would like to inform you on an opportunity at Yellowstone National Park for youth 15 to 18 years old.
Your students are invited to live, work, play, and grow for a month in Yellowstone. We believe this is a great summer job and opportunity for your students.
Students are paid $10.50 typically for 40 hours a week. Social Security cards and direct deposit are required. There are small charges to cover room and board. We can often not charge this fee.
Housing (dorm style and tents 4 nights a week) is provided and meals. We do our best to meet all dietary needs (expect PB&J for lunch and oatmeal for breakfast more than once). We will provide all training, and supervision so previous experience is not required. Nights and weekends have scheduled activities, and any visitation is discouraged. Almost 1/2 of the nights are spent camping. Tents, sleeping bags, backpacks can be provided at no cost while in the program.
What your students can bring is a positive attitude, sense of teamwork, a strong sense of adventure, and willingness to try new things. For some students the YCC experience is their 1st time away from home and sleeping in a tent. It may become one of the best summers of their life.
There is no computer or Wi-Fi available while you are here, and cell phone reception/use will be very limited. You will not have your phone with you most of the time. We will provide ways to call home on Friday and Sunday nights.
