MICA Guides has been in business for over 20 years! That means we have a two decades of experience training staff, working with clients, and having badass adventures. We operate predominantly on the Matanuska Glacier in Glacier View, AK. As a remote camp, crew members learn how to do everything for themselves. Fixing plumbing, building new structures, changing a tire-- we have to do it all. On top of that, we really invest in our staff. We believe in the grow your own mentality and have a very intentional training program for all first years with us. Many of our crews members stay with us for 3+ years to further training, gain life experience, and create a lifetime of memories in the Alaskan mountains.

Work hard play hard! This is not a 9-5, but we believe in seasonal work life balance. Crew members work hard the 100 days of the season but usually take a full a month or two off in the shoulder seasons. Days can be long (especially in the land of the midnight sun) and you can expect about 1 day off per week. You are working outside everyday, assisting base camp, exploring the Matanuska with clients, and so much more!
Discounted helicopter access, free glacier access, can borrow necessary gear for adventuring and ice climbing, a full espresso bar, and more!
Gritty with a good attitude. Able to share a kitchen with 20 others and minimal conflict! Willing to do any job required (even our owner still cleans the toilet).

All first years are required to live in "tent city." This is a section of our base camp with cleared and level sites for a large tent. As you come back for more years in the company there are permanent campers and tiny houses for Senior Staff to live in.
It's Alaska- what's not to do? Our biggest playground is the Matanuska Glacier. Staff will have access in off time to explore the ice or go ice climbing!
We have a communal kitchen and a mini grocery store. Employees are in charge of their own meals but people often cook together and we have potlucks 3-4 a month.
