Zion Adventure Company internships help anyone interested in the outdoor industry gain insight, perspective, and practical experience in running a small outdoor-oriented business. Interns typically train in three areas of our business, outfitting, guiding, and a chosen aspect of administration. Each intern chooses a Focus Project, a body of work which combines the interns unique personal goals and interests with a ZAC business initiative. ZAC intern positions fit well with many college programs, as well as personal education initiatives. Past interns have valued their ZAC experience as a key step in their immersion into the outdoor industry.
