Our Naturalist Corps intern Aaron spoke about why he decided to join our team last summer at Jay Cooke State Park near Carlton, MN.

Every summer, we are joined by passionate, driven college students looking for hands-on experience in the outdoor field. If you're interested in spending your summers at our beautiful state parks, head to mndnr.gov/internships to apply! This year's application deadline is January 31, 2026.
