Camp Denali and North Face Lodge are looking for naturalist guides
familiar with northern climates. A naturalist-guide is a teacher of
experiential learning, a backcountry hiking guide, and a competent
driver. The position can be 3-5 days per week and may be combined with
positions in other departments, depending on company needs.
This position requires a multi-disciplinary background in aspects of the
natural and cultural heritage of the Far North. Knowledge base should
be strong in at least three of these areas: North American bird and bird
song identification, North American plant identification, including
familiarity with botanical nomenclature and relationships, wildlife
ecology, geologic processes, phenomena of northern skies, understanding
of nutrient/energy cycling in northern climes, Alaska's history,
including early humans, today's native peoples, public lands, statehood,
the Alaska Native Land Claims Settlement Act, and the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act, history/current operational features of
Camp Denali and North Face Lodge and Leave No Trace principles
appropriate to the sub-arctic.
Necessary skills include current Wilderness First Aid & CPR or
Wilderness First Responder (preferred), ability to route-find in
Denali's trail-less terrain, lead people confidently and safely into the
backcountry, safely transport guests in 15 passenger vans over the
Denali Park Road (a CDL is a plus), and use the natural world as a
classroom to enhance guests' understanding of ecology. Teaching
experience is preferred. Since guest interaction is a major component,
naturalist guides must possess the ability to communicate articulately
and with an easy conversational style, and have a sincere interest in
people.
