Paid Internships

Hovenweep periodically offers paid internships that help at the visitor center front desk, rove park trails, and more.

Great teaching experiences are available in canyon country. If you like children and enjoy working in the outdoors, an internship with Canyon Country Outdoor Education (CCOE) is the position for you. For information about available opportunities, contact us.

Internships are most often recruited through the Student Conservation Association.
