FIELD EXPERIENCE INFORMATION
internship positions Each year we welcome adventurous, kind, and passionate young leaders to live and learn through adventure in Maine. We call them interns and trip leaders, but the clients and campers think of them as friends. We value growth in self. We appreciate and care for our interns. We want you to learn and succeed in any career path that you are exploring. Interns are vital members of our team under the supervision of our Director or Operations Manager. Our interns are paid and receive housing, meals, staff uniforms, and time off during the summer while gaining real-world experience in a challenging but rewarding environment. Our internships provide real-world experience in a hands-on atmosphere with the opportunity to work with your University to receive college credit. We offer five different internships at She Summits Co. Resident internships, practicum, or field-based positions are available in Adventure Leadership, Outdoor Recreation Business Administration, Outdoor Entrepreneurship, and Social Media/Marketing. All Internships require you to be at our summer business location in Maine. Our interns are supervised directly by our Director or our Operations Manager. Most intern positions require fieldwork with a week of camp as well as office work at our summer base. Our summer intern class consists of 4-6 interns. Our interns will educate, lead, and manage approximately 100 hours of programming. Our adventure leadership interns also live with and manage trips for campers of around 200 hours. Each internship is custom for that intern. We work with you from the beginning to craft a job description and internship goals that fit both your needs and our needs here at She Summits Co.
