Winter 2024

By Sven Haltmann

November 21, 2024

Winter has definitely arrived in Fairbanks and at the time of writing this blog update it is exactly 25 below Fahrenheit.

As the season transitions from the bustling summer months just four months ago, the Basecamp shifts into winter mode. Mike and his daughter Rebecca are serving as our winter caretakers, maintaining the property and keeping everything running smoothly while I pursue some of my other passions.

During the winter months, I've been focused on operating dog sledding trips and flightseeing tours in northern regions—continuing the adventure spirit that drives everything we do at the Basecamp.

We're Now Hiring for Summer 2025!

As we look ahead to next season, we're actively recruiting for several positions: - Hostel Manager - Caretakers - Barista

If you love hostel, AirBnB, or camp environments and enjoy chatting with travelers from all over the globe, we'd love to hear from you. Send your resume to svenhaltmann@gmail.com.

Working at the Basecamp isn't just a job—it's an opportunity to be part of a thriving community of adventurers and travelers from around the world. You'll be instrumental in creating the welcoming atmosphere that makes our guests feel at home.

Time moves quickly here in Alaska, and before we know it, summer will be upon us again. Here's to the adventure that awaits!
