Adventure Leadership is an outdoor, activity-based, team building and skill development program. Adventure Leadership interns provide participants opportunities to explore leadership, organizational behavior, and the environment through adventure education practices and outdoor recreation. Programs are provided to a diverse client base, using experiential tools which can include ground initiatives, low challenge course elements, high ropes course elements, and a climbing tower. As an intern, you will learn to design and deliver custom experiential programs for students, educators, corporate groups, nonprofit organizations, and beyond. Interns can also learn how to create community by leading day, weekend, or week-long trips. Past trips have included dog sledding in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, backpacking Cumberland Island, and paddling the HuronRiver. Training will be provided, beginners are encouraged.

Our GroupInterview session is taking place at the Intramural Sports Building in Conference Room A. Please feel free to wear casual, comfortable clothing inwhich you can move freely, and be prepared to reflect on group dynamics.

Throughout the event, you will have the opportunity to engage in some adventure-based, team building exercises. Our staff will be evaluating your participation in these activities, including your demonstration of leadership and relationship-building skills throughout the session. At the end of the Group Interview session, you will have an opportunity to ask our past interns and professional staff any questions you might have about Adventure Leadership.

Invitations to Individual Interviews will be sent to selected candidates following the Group Interview sessions. At Individual Interviews, we'll ask you to come prepared to confirm any significant conflicts (potential travel or vacation plans, other part-time job hours, class schedule, etc.) for the internship time frame, so please be sure to keep that in mind as we move through the process.

If you have anyfurther questions or concerns, please reply to RecSportsAdvLeadApps@umich.edu -- we can't wait to learn more about you, and for you to learn moreabout this awesome opportunity!
