The housing is a bit rustic though, bring warm clothes, You'll be sharing a tent! All part of the Alaskan adventure though. Have a great summer!; ▶ Reply to This

All in all, things are pretty laid back, everyone gets to know everyone pretty quick. Camp life is fun, just make sure to get earplugs, layers, and a warm sleeping bag. Its not for everyone, and it does have its quirks... living in the woods isnt for everyone haha. I worked there last summer, and I'll be a driver starting the 18th. See you in camp; ▶ Reply to This
