Recreation Management/Marketing Internship

Mountain River OutfittersRiggins, ID
At Mountain River Outfitters, we hire several interns each summer. If a summer on the river and in the wild, gaining valuable business, travel, recreation, and hospitality management experience sounds good to you, you should consider interning with us. Our internships offer excellent opportunities for hands-on business experience as you are included in every aspect of the company. Unlike many large corporate internships where you only see one narrow aspect of the business, our entrepreneurial internships offer the opportunity to see all aspects of what it takes to run your own business. Applicants should be highly motivated self-starters, who are able to see the big picture, yet still pay close attention to details. Owning your own business is a proactive and reactive exercise, so interns must be able to go with the flow while anticipating problems and being able to respond quickly to the unexpected. Beneftits: During your summer with Mountain River Outfitters, you will be in many situations allowing you to take charge and improve you leadership abilities. After gaining valuable management experience and organizational skills, you will walk away knowing you can tackle anything. Other benefits include: - Scholarship upon completion of internship - Housing - At least one 5-day river trip on the Snake River in Hells Canyon taken during the internship - 15% Friends and Family Discount - Optional Guide Training Event (dates not part of the internship) - Excellent outdoor industry references - Relationships and contacts for a lifetime

Education Programs Intern

Burritt on the MountainHuntsville, AL
Burritt on the Mountain has been referred to as a "Jewel on the Mountain." Start with Dr. William Henry Burritt's eclectic mansion, add a historic park with restored 19th century houses including barnyard and animals, and finally throw in the artistic side with concerts, plays and exhibits, and you have a delightful mixture of old and new for young and old! In 1955, Dr. Burritt willed his mansion and surrounding 167 acres of land on Round-Top Mountain to the city of Huntsville (making it Huntsville's first museum). Since that time, volunteers and community activists have brought original homes from the area to Burritt to be restored and utilized as an educational facility. Our historic interpreters are always busy demonstrating activities as one would see on a 19th century farm. Blacksmithing, spinning, and cooking over an open hearth are just some of the skills employed in our historic park. The Education Programs Intern will be closely involved with Burritt's Education Department, which designs and leads a variety of activities and events every year for both children and adults. Summer interns will work closely with Burritt's summer day camp programs in particular, as well as our special Whimsical Woods feature. This internship period is flexible but is intended for Summer of 2012. Internship is unpaid and intern hours would range from 15 to 30 hours per week. This internship will provide excellent experience for anyone looking to pursue a career in Education, Public History, Non-profits, or Environmental Education.
