Housing

We offer dorms and full RV hookups. The shared dorms are rustic with centrally located communal bathrooms and free laundry facilities. Most associate RV areas have onsite coin-operated laundry facilities as well as a communal bathroom/shower house.

Work Schedule

You can expect to work between 32-40 hours each week. Most positions will work in split shifts and while we cannot guarantee couples or friends coming together will work the same shifts, we will do our best to accommodate similar shifts and days off together.

Location

We operate 11 stores located throughout the park, while we will try to accommodate store location preferences we give preference to those applicants who are flexible in start and end dates. All of our locations are above 6,000 feet, so we recommend checking with your physician if you have any concerns. Our weather is amazing but there have been occasions where we've had snow in July. It doesn't normally last long, but can be startling if you're not prepared for it!

Recreation

Yellowstone Co-Op Employee Recreation Program (YCERP) provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities for all associates in the Park including softball, basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, raft trips, guided hikes, photo contests, educational seminars, backpacking gear rental and others. Many program activities are free, while others have a small fee.
