Job Description

Description:

During the summer, interns are trained to support Wilderness Program courses. Interns work collaboratively to prepare for, implement/facilitate, and evaluate courses that can range from one to fourteen days. These courses may take place at our wilderness site or in a mobile format, including camping, canoeing, or rafting trips in both Colorado and Utah. Interns gain experience with program activities and adaptations that include hiking, canoeing, kayaking, zip-lining, climbing, white-water rafting, and more.

During the winter, interns are trained to support the Adaptive Ski and Snowboard Program. Interns work closely with staff and volunteers to help facilitate adaptive alpine skiing and snowboarding lessons at Breckenridge and Keystone Resorts. They will assist with participant support, equipment preparation, lesson logistics, and group programming while learning about adaptive equipment and instructional techniques.

Participants in both programs include people of all ages and abilities. BOEC serves children with sensory processing disorders, youth and adults with visual impairments, historically disadvantaged youth, adults with traumatic brain injuries, children with hemophilia, people with spinal cord injuries, adults with multiple sclerosis, and many others across a wide spectrum of disabilities and diagnoses.

In both seasons, interns are deeply involved in course and program delivery from start to finish. Interns serve in support roles and will not manage a course or lesson without the guidance and supervision of our experienced Course Directors and Instructors. Interns are never the sole risk managers; even those with prior experience are supported by paid staff, especially in mitigating risk throughout programming.

Lastly, interns play a pivotal role in creating a positive experience for all individuals who help BOEC fulfill its mission. They support, empower, and engage with staff, volunteers, participants, and fellow interns—helping to foster community and ensure meaningful experiences for all.

Requirements:

All interns must be twenty-one years of age, have current First Aid and CPR certifications, health insurance coverage, and the ability to commit to the entire season. Ideal candidate is self-motivated, takes initiative, some experience in our programming areas, and some experience working with people with disabilities and special needs. All interns must have a strong sense of hard work, flexibility, a love of the outdoors, an open mind, and a love for working with people.
