Yosemite Application Process

How to Apply

Applications are accepted throughout the year for both seasonal and year-round hourly opportunities.

The application is a very important part of the screening process.  It provides our Human Resource Department the information necessary to recruit the best possible candidates for our positions.  Please complete your application completely, neatly, and accurately.  If the application is hard to read or is missing information, it is difficult to process and you may miss out on a great opportunity.  For seasonal positions we start posting positions for the following summer in January and February.  For seasonal winter positions we start posting positions in September and October.  Please watch the website for specific posting dates only applications received during the specified posting dates will be considered. 

Start & Finish Dates - Very Important
Our hiring season begins in March with our goal to be completely staffed by the busy Memorial Day holiday weekend. Visitation levels remain high through the month of October and necessitate an additional hiring period during July and August.

Be as exact as possible with your availability.  People who leave before their commitment dates may not be invited back in the future.

Testimonials

“To surprise my family one year , I planned a vacation at Curry Village. At the time we thought we'd only stay a few days and then continue on to Disneyland. Our daughters at the time were 8 & 10. Coming through the tunnel that opens to the magnificent Yosemite vista...and a tour of the valley floor on our first day...they didn't want to be anywhere but Yosemite! We were able to extend our visit a couple of extra days so that we could enjoy more day hikes and "dream" of making our way to Half Dome! Sipping coffee in the morning in the open auditorium at Camp Curry is a memory I will always savor. We try to return as often as we can. This vacation was one of the most memorable for our family.
– Deb Z. from Florin, CA
