Want to spend the summer in the North Country hiking, meeting new people, and learning about environmental education? We're hiring!

Nature Up North summer naturalist interns are talented, driven undergraduate students with interest in place-based outdoor education. Interns spend the summer developing leadership skills, leading outdoor programs and workshops, and becoming better environmental educators. The Nature Up North Summer Naturalist internship is a full-time 40 hr/week position and includes campus housing and a stipend.  

Throughout the year, Nature Up North works to combine experiences in nature with web-based technologies to spark new interest in the natural world. In the summer months, we lead hikes, paddles, and educational workshops in the community. We also work with volunteers to collect citizen science data on water quality, wildlife activity, and more.  We are proud to offer summer opportunities for motivated student interns to contribute to our mission.

What do summer naturalist interns do?

• Lead community outreach events such as guided hikes, paddles, and skill-based outdoor workshops
• Create programs, educational materials, newsletters, flyers and more.
