Manage projects, coordinate teams, and master your company with Basecamp

Running a summer internship program

Interns get the most out of a summer with a mentor, a real project, and a day to show what they made. Basecamp keeps the schedule, mentors, and weekly updates in one place, so ten weeks add up to work they’re proud of.

A summer internship project in Basecamp with To-dos, a Calendar, Automatic Check-ins, Docs & Files, Chat, and a Message Board

To-dos run from week one to demo day, with lunches with leaders and lunchtime talks on the Calendar. A weekly Automatic Check-in asks what everyone learned, photos of the cohort live in Docs & Files, the interns make lunch plans in Chat, and the Message Board welcomes everyone and shares who’s mentoring whom.
