Stone Ward is currently taking applications for Camp Reality, a 10-week, full-time, paid
internship program from May 28, 2012 to Aug. 3, 2012.

The 2012 Camp Reality intern class will include one representative from each of our
departments. Stone Ward is looking for students who are interested in marketing
strategy, journalism, public relations, media buying and planning, creative writing,
digital design and development, print production, broadcast production and graphic and
industrial design.

We prefer applicants who are juniors, seniors or recent graduates. Interns will be paid
$8 per hour.

Through Camp Reality, the intern class will team up to produce an integrated, strategic
plan consisting of creative concepts, public relations initiatives, media plans and digital
products that will be presented to a client at the end of the summer. While creating
these materials, interns work alongside and often build lasting relationships with Stone
Ward professionals. Interns are given guidance on how to complete projects but are
encouraged to exercise their own creativity during the program.

Applications, available at StoneWard.com/internships, should be completed and
submitted along with resumes and work samples. Resumes should be kept to a page.
Portfolios should reflect the best of the candidate’s work.
