International Internships

Because of the high temperatures and excellent weather that Florida maintains throughout the winter, it is naturally very seasonal. The Jupiter Island Club is no exception where the season runs from mid-October to mid-April. As the majority of interns want to stay for longer than six months or have to meet certain college criteria, the Club has several connections with similar clubs in the Northern part of the US and can provide a list of contacts for this purpose.

Jupiter Island Club Internship Dates:
October to April
