Paid Internship: Raptor Center / Outdoor Education

SCICON is a resident outdoor education facility located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains near Springville, California. Each week approximately 200 sixth-grade students come to SCICON for five days to learn about science and conservation, and to experience nature at its best. Students attend daily instructional trails as well as participate in evening recreational activities. A museum of natural history, planetarium, observatory, raptor rehabilitation center, and over 17 miles of trails are just some of the highlights of this beautiful 1,100-acre campus. As a SCICON intern, you will augment SCICON's professional staff of program specialists, naturalists, and support staff. The Internship Program starts with an in-depth orientation program at SCICON, which includes guest speakers, field trips, and intensive training workshops.

Once the school program starts in August, interns rotate through a variety of positions as they work closely with all facets of the program. A variety of in-services are planned throughout the year which include guest speakers on science and educational issues, as well as various field trips and workshops.
