Who are the ideal applicants for this position?
What is included and expected in this opportunity?
Other relevant information:
We live at 6500 feet elevation. Being so high in elevation means we can get very extreme weather all year round. We can have snow in May, and we get our last frost sometime mid June. We can also get frosts, snow and hail in July and August (although it doesn't happen too often)! Even in the middle of summer, nights get down into the 40's and 50's. Summers can be hot with temps usually from 75-85 degrees during the day. We also get amazing thunderstorms, which can roll in pretty quickly in the afternoon. Living out of a tent can be challenging, and we just want you to know what you may experience.
The nearest town is about 2.5 miles by bike and has all ammenities (yoga, restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops etc). There are hiking and biking trails very near to our property, though not quite in walking distance. Having your own wheels can offer you great freedom to get out and do things. There are numerous music festivals and events during the summer. Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone are very near here and we highly recommend exploring them!
Apply now for one of these Internship positions.
Because we will be living and working with these interns for the whole summer, we are going to accept applications and conduct interviews with a number of candidates. We don't have a set date for final selections, but will be accepting the right people for these positions as they apply.
Please get your application in as soon as you can to have the greatest chance of securing one of the spots.
