Four day work weeks (10 hr days), rewarding physical work, outdoors all the time, potential for overtime, great coworkers, food and housing
What I wish was different
Advice
If you're looking for a summer job this is a great one. Won't boost your resume so much if you're looking for anything other than outdoor leadership, but it's awesome work and really rewarding.

Listen to everything they teach you because it is an experience that teaches you information you won’t learn in the classroom.

Croo
June 2018 • Meredith, NH
What I liked
Three Mile Island is a magical place and I love to help it run. The community of campers (guests) and croo (staff) is super friendly and makes the entire summer a blast.
What I wish was different
I hate leaving Three Mile and it makes everything else seem less fun and fulfilling.
Advice
I love it here! Come paint, cook, drive boats, and live in one of the most spectacular places on earth.

Trail Crew Leader
May - August 2019 • Boston, MA
What I liked
I loved working outside and getting to teach teenagers about their local environment and conservation. I also really liked the hands-on and involved approaches that my supervisors had to their positions, while still letting me and my co-leader operate independently.
What I wish was different
Not much. I do wish that the pay was a little higher–the cost of living in Boston ate up a lot of my paycheck, but that was expected.
Advice
Get good hiking boots! The physical labor aspect of this job wasn't exaggerated in the job description.

Hut Crew
May 2018 • Randolph, NH
What I liked
The ability to share my passion for the outdoors while making connections and memories with like-minded people. The physical endurance needed for this job pushed me into a healthy growth zone.
What I wish was different
I wish I could’ve stayed at the job longer than three months!
Advice
It’s for those with a strong passion for experiential learning and customer service. You will be cooking for a group of guests each night, packing food and supplies on your back to a remote high mountain hut, and assisting in search and rescues.

Intern
January - February 2017 • Portland, ME
What I liked
Being able to attend environmental hearings, sit in on coalition meetings, and create content for AMC's social media page and events. It was also really fun to be working in Downtown Portland.
What I wish was different
I would have appreciated a little more explanation on how environmental advocacy and policymaking occurs in Maine, I was confused about what was going on a lot of the time.
Advice
Definitely do this internship! Pay attention when you are shadowing.
