Work & Travel, Internship and Research Project opportunities
Are you looking for a life changing experience by living in the remote wilderness of British Columbias mountains? Are you looking for an opportunity to expand your skills and knowledge by doing something impactful?
We are Chilcotin Holidays and the Chilcotin Ark Institute and we facilitate conservation trips into Canada’s wilderness which get everyone actively involved in hands-on conservation projects while reconnecting to nature and themselves. This also applies to all of our staff members, whether they join us for a university internship, as part of their work and travel experience or as a volunteer.
We offer hands-on experiences and training in a variety of fields:
All experiences provide our staff with the unique opportunity to develop and grow professionally and personally by gaining hands-on work experience and taking responsibility. But even more important, everyone has the opportunity to connect with nature and experience the rugged wilderness of Canada. They will experience adventures of a life time. As everything we do is centred around conservation and stewardship of the Chilcotin Ark, everyone is involved in looking after the environment they are benefiting from and in leaving a positive impact.
