The Chautauquan Daily, official newspaper of Chautauqua Institution, seeks photography interns to serve as its four staff photographers for the 2017 summer season. The internship runs from June 13 to Aug. 25. The Daily is a 12 - to 28-page broadsheet newspaper that is published six days per week for nine weeks. Publication dates are Monday through Saturday, from June 24 to Aug. 26.

The Daily’s photographers enjoy unrivaled access to all aspects of the Chautauqua community and are challenged by a range of assignments, including lectures (some well-known speakers ranging from senators to astronauts), evening performances (some Grammy- and Tony-winning entertainers), operas and plays, shots requested by reporters, portraiture, feature hunting and photo essays. Photographers are also required to pursue at least one comprehensive project that deeply explores and shares the story of an aspect of the Chautauqua community.

Summer photography internships at Chautauqua are open to undergraduate and graduate students whose studies include photography or photojournalism, or who have extensive photography experience in student media. The ideal candidate has the initiative and work ethic to complete assignments with little prompting from the editors, demonstrates strong technical and communication skills, and brings a positive, resilient, team-first attitude to his or her work. Proficiency with Adobe software, knowledge of AP style and general writing skills are helpful.

Daily interns receive a full-season Chautauqua Institution gate pass, provided housing on or near the Institution grounds, and a stipend to cover living expenses.

To apply, send a cover letter, resume, the names of at least three references and a link to your portfolio to editor Jordan Steves at jsteves@ciweb.org. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until all positions are filled.

The John R. Turney Sailing Center, located at the south end of Chautauqua’s grounds, offers week-long sailing classes to children and adults ages 8 and up, as well as boat rentals and private lessons.

Many of the instructors are college-aged sailors who grew up sailing on Chautauqua Lake. The sails of boats launched from the center can be seen on the water from vantage points around Chautauqua Lake.

Playing sports with friends and neighbors is a tradition as longstanding and all-American as Chautauqua itself. The men’s and women’s recreational softball leagues, which play at Sharpe Field, are no exception. In true Chautauqua fashion, many teams have family connections – mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, who play on the same teams as other relatives cheer

from the sidelines. Often, the teams themselves become like families over the years as participants return, season after season.

Chautauquans gather to pray for universal peace and compassion Wednesday near the Hall of Missions.

TRUST YOUR PATHChautauquans of all manner of faith traditions

gather here each summer to learn and grow

Shmuel Vilenkin, 12, outside the Zigdon Chabad Jewish House Aug. 2. Vilenkin celebrated his Bar Mitzvah the following day.

With their first steps onto the grounds, Chautauquans can fol-low their own path and explore one of its four pillars, like a contemplative journey through a labyrinth. All kinds of peo-

ple join hands and pray at the Peace Poles, meditate at Mystic Heart, and discover faith traditions beyond their own. From attending Is-lamic Jum’ah prayer, to praying the rosary at the Catholic House, or observing the Sabbath at the Zigdon Chabad Jewish House, everyone is encouraged to walk the spiritual path that is fitting for them. The pillar of religion remains as important today as it did at the founding of Chautauqua. Through lifelong learning, it is possible to find peace.

Porches on the grounds are one of the greatest representations of what Chautauqua stands for. Chautau-qua is centered on concepts of inclusion, the celebration of community and family, and the four pillars of arts, education, recreation and religion. Porches are home to reading the paper in morning, watching children learn to ride a bike, family dinners or simply discussing the happenings of the day over a glass

of wine. Porches are the threshold that connects those you came with and those who pass by on the street. Only in Chautauqua will you be walking to the morning lecture and hear the distant sound of someone prac-ticing their accordion on a porch. Nearly every house has a porch to provide a place to soak in the essence of Chautauqua. Porch culture not only reflects the values of Chautauqua, but keeps them flourishing.
