2027 Hospitality Internship

Your internship. Your interests. Your experience.

Want to spend your summer learning from a chef? Curious what it takes to run a golf operation? Interested in guest services, events, recreation, spa, or maybe a little bit of everything?

Let’s build an internship around YOU.

Our 2027 Hospitality Internship can be tailored around your interests and educational needs. Depending on availability, you may choose to focus on one department, experience multiple areas of the resort, or build an internship around specific learning objectives required by your school.

If you’re interested in hospitality but aren’t sure which area fits you best, we can help you explore different opportunities and find where your skills and interests click.

What Could Your Internship Look Like?

Your experience will depend on what you want to learn. Here are just a few possibilities:

Guest Services & Front Desk

Learn what goes into creating a great guest experience from arrival to departure. You may assist with check-ins and check-outs, answer guest questions, learn about resort operations, help solve guest needs, and see how lodging departments work together behind the scenes.

Golf Operations

Learn the operational side of a resort golf experience by assisting with golfers, carts, tee sheets, tournaments, leagues, outings, and day-to-day golf operations. You'll see how guest service, events, retail, and course operations come together.

Culinary

Work alongside culinary professionals while learning food preparation, kitchen organization, sanitation, timing, presentation, teamwork, and high-volume service. Depending on your experience and goals, we can work to identify opportunities that help you build your culinary skills.

Recreation & Activities

Help with resort activities, events, equipment, outdoor recreation, and family experiences while learning how recreation programming is planned and operated.

Spa, Housekeeping & More

Hospitality is much bigger than the Front Desk!

What You'll Walk Away With

Sure, you'll gain something great to put on your resume, but we want you to leave with more than that.

You'll have opportunities to build:

• Real-world hospitality experience
• Guest service and communication skills
• Confidence in a professional workplace
• Problem-solving and decision-making skills
• Time management and organization
• Teamwork and leadership experience
• Connections with hospitality professionals
• A better understanding of how a full-service resort operates
• A clearer idea of what you might want from your future career

And hopefully, some pretty great memories along the way.

Job Requirements

Specific requirements will depend on your internship placement and may include:

• Following established procedures and checklists
• Managing time and completing assigned responsibilities
• Standing or walking for extended periods
• Bending, reaching, climbing stairs, and occasionally lifting up to 50 pounds depending on placement
• Communicating effectively with guests and team members
• Reading basic workplace instructions and communications
• A valid driver's license for certain assignments involving company vehicles

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the position.

Why Grand View Lodge?

Because an internship should be more than completing required hours.

It should be a chance to try things, ask questions, meet people, build skills, challenge yourself, and figure out what excites you.

At Grand View Lodge, you can gain hands-on experience at a renowned Minnesota resort while learning from experienced leaders, chefs, golf professionals, and hospitality teams.

And if you love it here? Your internship could be the beginning of something bigger, with opportunities to return in future seasonal, part-time, or full-time roles.
