How would you like this to be your job location next summer? Now's the time to apply.

Sure, sure, sure, it's only November, but that doesn't mean it's too early to think about landing a summer job at Cape Lookout National Seashore.

Cape Lookout typically hires 20 or more summer seasonal workers each year. Some of those jobs are full-time positions, some are part-time. Those available for next summer can be found at this website. Most job applications close December 10, so you better hurry if this sounds interesting.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
