Company

We are an established wilderness eco-tourism business collaborating with a conservation institute to facilitate conservation trips that get our guests actively involved in hands-on conservation projects while reconnecting to nature and themselves. We are located in the Chilcotin Ark, a unique place for nature and wildlife due to the diverse combination of ecosystems. At Chilcotin Holidays, we believe an internship should be more than just a line item on your resume - it should be a life-changing experience profoundly expanding your vision of who you can be and what you can accomplish. In all of our internships, we challenge our interns to clearly identify and continuously re-evaluate their interests, goals, and purpose. Therefore, while you will certainly gain valuable work experience as a Wilderness Guide, you are not restricted to this and you get a holistic experience of what life on a ranch based research centre entails. You will meet adventurers from all around the world, working in this exceptional and unique environment.
