Door County Adventure Center As A Workplace

What a summer! That’s honestly all I can seem to think about as August wraps up and the school year begins. Being a marketing intern at Door County Adventure Center was not what I was expecting, but I sure am glad I joined this awesome team. Over the course of three months, I gained some real-life work experience as a part of a marketing team, got to know some incredible people, and I had a really fun time doing it all!

As a communications and French major at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire attempting to enter into the workforce, this job offered me some insight into what it takes to maintain and promote a business. From public social media posts to doing behind the scenes work was interesting to experience. I learned of new software and how to effectively operate them. This was not only a valuable internship to finding out my future career goals, but it was also a great way to find new, different, fun people who I would have never met had I not found this internship.

Words cannot describe how awesome of a team I was able to work with this summer. Not only was this team a big group of tight-knit friends, we were also a fluid and professional team when it came to the workday. When applying for internships earlier this year, I had no idea what to expect when it came to the workplace and what kind of a team I would be working with. With so many uncertainties with school, internships, and life in general this year, it couldn’t have turned out any better.
​
Overall, this experience was not only rewarding but pushed me to try new things and learn how to have fun even while in the workplace. I could not have done it without the amazing team behind me here at Door County Adventure Center. They taught me the value of a positive workplace and how a workplace should be when I graduate next year.
