• Campfire Chats with Former Interns – Gather with former Mountaineer interns who turned their experiences into full-time careers, and learn how they navigated the journey.

• Service Days on the Mountain – Give back to the community and leave a mark beyond the workplace, all while bonding with your cohort.

• Guided Mentorship & Trail Networking – Connect with mentors, managers, and peers who will guide and support you along the way.
