1. Skagway, Alaska is summer camp for adults.

We were shocked to realize that nearly everyone in town was our age, everyone was from everywhere, and there were no boring people in sight.

We fell in love instantly.

According to the most recent census the population of Skagway is about 900, but in the summertime there are over 2,000 seasonal workers who flock here for summer jobs.

There are tons of jobs in Skagway, all you have to do is apply. You can work for restaurants, bars, tour operators, the train, the hotel, the bus companies, or any of the various retail locations in town.

Skagway is set up just the way it was when it was built in 1898. Broadway is lined with restored period era buildings, complete with false fronts, and there are wooden boardwalks along the main streets. It’s a town rich with history, which it celebrates and holds close.
