All candidates are required to successfully complete training where appropriate

Outside Guide Training Course

Working at Outside is a fun and challenging experience. Prior experience is not necessary.

Guide candidates are required to successfully complete our 5-day Outside Guide Training Course, which includes kayaking skills, safety skills, basics of interpretive naturalism, ecology, history and environmental awareness. We also cover public relations and leadership skills. This is comprehensive training for the full range of our programs—kayak, boat, and land-based tours. It is an intense, comprehensive training that can lead to further certifications.

All new staff, with very few exceptions, are required to successfully complete this program. The 5-day Guide Training Course costs $275, of which $175 of the cost will be reimbursed provided that you remain employed with Outside through August 15, 2025. The balance covers books, training materials and uniform.

Successful completion of this course is required to become an Outside guide or Captain.

Outside Brands Marketing Intern (Paid)

A summer internship with Outside Brands offers hands-on marketing experience where interns work directly with the marketing team to create real campaigns and are not just doing busy work. Interns help produce social media content, contribute to email and digital marketing efforts, support brand events and promotions, and gather content from actual guest experiences across the Lowcountry. The role involves collaboration, creative project support, and opportunities to see your ideas implemented in live marketing initiatives.

This paid internship is designed to build practical skills employers value, give mentorship, and get exposure to social media, branding, storytelling, and digital campaign development. It’s ideal for students studying marketing, communications, PR, English, or related fields who are organized, motivated, and eager to learn in a fast-paced, creative environment. A passion for the outdoors is a bonus but not required.

The Marketing intern will work out of our offices in Hilton Head Island from May to August 2026 for 30–40 hours per week, with college credit available. Interns finish the program with strong experience in content creation, brand storytelling, marketing strategy, and real-world business operations—making it a great opportunity for anyone seeking meaningful, career-building marketing work.
