Job Description
Intern responsibilities include facilitating low and high rope activities on the challenge course, guiding kayak and raft trips on the Colorado River and conducting various activities at the neighboring Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa. Setting up/cleaning up programs makes up about half the time spent facilitating programs. The other half is spent serving participants.
In order to obtain a position in McKinney Roughs Nature Park's recreation staff, you must first pass a drug screening and background check. Although employees are not required to have prior experience in the recreation field, it is recommended, as is the possession of a valid driver's license.
Temporary workers for the park do not receive additional benefits to pay. Starting wages are between $12 and $15. Workers have the opportunity to learn new skills such as rock climbing, belaying, kayaking, etc.
During my internship, I met a lot of new people, learned some new things and built solid relationships with the people I worked with. Not to mention, I also had the opportunity to experience how a recreation business operates on a day-to-day basis.
