Kalu Yala is a sustainable community that will be built in the mountains about 45 minutes outside Panama City, Panama. Kalu Yala is founded on the core tenants of culture, new urbanism architecture, organic food, wellness, recreation, education, preservation, and conservation of the natural environment. The internship program allows students and young professionals to come to Panama and gain cultural exposure, work experience, and knowledge in order to create a project that will ultimately help shape this sustainable community. We plan to break ground in May of this year which will bring many opportunities for students to work with experts in various fields.
In 2013 we have a lot to be grateful for as we plan to break ground on a 42,000 square foot post-and-beam eco-resort which will host an off-the-grid event for 500 of the world's thought leaders this fall. (You read that right!) Once constructed, half the venue will be dedicated to the intern program, giving our students a true home at Kalu Yala.
Internships take place in 3 venues: creating the town's foundation in Kalu Yala; creating relationships in the neighboring town of San Miguel; and working on business logistics in Panama City. Since Summer 2010, Kalu Yala has had interns from 39 states, 13 countries and 92 universities.
Programs
Agriculture and Animal Science
Biology
Business Development and Entrepreneurship
Community Outreach
Construction Management
Education
Outdoor Recreation
For those focused on architecture, we have an extremely selective 5-person program starting with George Moreno and Partners. This is one of the top architecture firms in Panama, and our lead architect in partnership Moule and Polyzoides. Students accepted to this program will be working on actual projects, creating models to be critiqued by experts in the field.
Kalu Yala Internships promotes a "garage entrepreneurship" model, allowing interns to create independent studies and projects that they themselves propose and are then mentored and held accountable for delivering by their directors. Interns can also work on more traditional director-led group projects which are determined by their director.
Examples of Spring 2013 Projects:
Agriculture and Animal Science: Designing and building a 2-acre permaculture farm based on local and modern farming methods, so far including plantain-tree grove, medicinal plant bed, herb garden, hardwood test-plot, and a 30-hen chicken coop.
Business: Creation of design briefs and space planning for Kalu Yala's first development project, including market research and financial analysis.
Biology: Design and implementation of first water system to BaseCamp with study of aquatic life, GIS mapping of hardwoods on Kalu Yala property and multiple field studies on specific flora and fauna in Kalu Yala
Community Outreach: Social Metrics study through personal interviews to find strength, creativity, and resiliency in the neighboring town of San Miguel to be able to best support existing assets in individuals and the community to assist in town development
Construction Management: Set to begin Summer 2013, this program will work closely with Max Cooper, our construction site manager, to design, implement, and enforce protocols for building in Kalu Yala
Education: Empowering the people of San Miguel through personalized English classes, while forming relationships within the school and community through educational workshops and events, including a community art mural and a study of local labor culture
Outdoor Recreation: Design and construction of low ropes course, trails and recreation fields while working closely with Jungle Adventures, the first eco-tour project at Kalu Yala
Benefits to Interns:
Ability to design and/or participate in a program catered to your own personal interests and goals
Freedom to test your abilities by pursuing trial and error in a real world environment, while being supported by professionals
Meet other passionate, like-minded, young people from a wide variety of vocations and backgrounds in an international setting
Benefits to Kalu Yala:
Provide research and development capabilities unavailable to any other real estate developer, as no developer we're aware of invites people study whatever they chose and figure out how it can be applied to the building of a town
Create public oversight and assurance through their unpaid status leading to bottom-up pressure on Kalu Yala management, employees and consultants
Generate awareness throughout our local community and their home communities
Benefits to Both:
Collaborate to build a new sustainable community the rest of world can then have the chance to replicate
Upcoming semester dates:
Summer: May 20th- August 2nd
Fall: September 2nd- November 15th (Early Admission Deadline: July 1st)

By way of introduction, my name is Bob Wetzel and I am with Lincoln Trails Boy Scout Council, which serves fifteen counties in East Central Illinois (roughly from Decatur to Robinson).
We are currently exploring the possibility of providing internship opportunities as part of our Summer Camping Programs based out of Rhodes France Scout Reservation near Pana, IL. Specifically we are in the process of developing a series of off-site adventure programs for youth ages 14 to 18 to augment our traditional on-site summer camp programs. These week long, off-site programs will take place at Rhodes France Scout Reservation as well as on and around Lake Shelbyville in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Army Corps of Engineers. The off site programs include:
50 Mile Challenge: A fifty mile, three day trek; 32 miles by bike, 13 mile trail hike, and 10 mile canoe paddle.
Conservation Corps: Hands-on environmental and trail work, plus a 20 mile canoe trek
Sails and Trails: Sailing, Canoeing, Kayaking, trail hiking and primitive camping on Lake Shelbyville (This program is still in development.)
We believe that these programs would present excellent experience and leadership development opportunities for college students considering careers in recreational program administration and delivery.
I have taken some time to review the WIU/RPTA Undergraduate Internship Manual and believe that we can accommodate the requirements and curriculum outlined as follows:
Week 1: Camp equipment facility preparation and maintenance
Week 2: Program training and familiarization - Staff “dry run “the off site programs
Week 3: Staff Orientation Week including youth protection, first aid, rules, etc.
Weeks 4, 5, 6, 7: Program Execution and facilitation
Week 8: Camp and equipment recovery and facility closure
Weeks 9 and 10: Facilitate and Staff the Cub Scout (age 6-10) resident and day camp programs.
Although the internship opportunity would be non- paid, we can provide room and board within the programs while they are in operation and/or in the homes of members of the executive board (as needed) during weekends, etc. We would consider a small weekly stipend as well.

Activities Director: Sunset Lakes Resort is a 200-acre property with over 275 campsites located just outside of the Quad Cities, only 15 minutes from the WIU Moline Campus. We are Illinois' #1 rated campground by Woodall's, ranking us in the top 3% out of over 8,000 private campgrounds rated nationwide! Offering planned activities, free amenities, and a clean and safe atmosphere; hundreds of families call this a true getaway each and every year. Sunset Lakes Resort offers regular planned activities from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend, and is hoping to expand this service a few additional weeks. Our facility is a true camping Resort, attracting people of all ages, and groups of all types. Versatility in planning activities is the key to success! New ideas and never tried before activities is what we want to see on our new schedule. Our Assistant Activity Director must create a new sense of enthusiasm and get the kids, and the kids at heart, involved. This will require a little 'recruiting of the troops' and relationship building to make those kids join the activity scheduled. Please brainstorm with us while we still fit in some of our old favorites we have here at our park. Preference may be shown to candidates who have experience life guarding, minor experience with websites (you do not have to know code), customer service or activities experience, and those who will commit to a regular weekend schedule next summer. Candidates must manage their time wisely by planning and prepping days, if not weeks in advance. We will begin planning this fall, so get on board now and we will work remotely with you while your taking classes. Summer starts just as soon as you're available in May.

Vacaville Psychiatric Program (VPP) is a licensed psychiatric treatment facility located within a prison, California Medical Facility (CMF), Vacaville. The population served is all male inmates who are referred from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) for mental health treatment and evaluation. VPP has 218 beds in the Acute Psychiatric Program (APP) and 178 beds in the Intermediate Treatment Program (ITP). The intern will have approximately 2 weeks of orientation training and will learn important clinical and administrative issues that are vital to working in a correctional environment. Following the orientation, the intern will be assigned various tasks based on the training objectives in a primary unit, including observing, co-leading and leading eight (8) Recreation therapy groups per week (3 groups of leading, 4 groups of co‐leading, 1 non‐Recreation Therapy group observation), rehabilitation therapy documentation with a caseload of 10 patients, and their rehabilitation therapy-related documentation requirements, involvement in treatment conferences and various meetings, and other professional skills applicable to working in this environment. The intern may work on other units to learn and to be familiar with different therapeutic milieus and patient populations. The intern will have hour-long, weekly supervision meeting with the supervising recreation therapist. The intern will be given a formal and informal feedback constantly, and will be engaged in formal evaluations twice during the internship, once at the mid-term and again at the completion of the internship. The intern will work collaboratively throughout the internship as an interdisciplinary team member, instead of working independently. The interdisciplinary treatment team consists of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, nurses (RNs and Medical Technical Assistants), and correctional officers. The intern will be assigned a primary full-time supervising recreation therapist approved supervising recreation therapist, as well as uncertified recreation therapists, and other rehabilitation therapists, including art and music therapists. Although the size of the groups vary from large (5-8 in the Acute Program, 6-15 in the Intermediate Program), small (2-4 in the Acute Program), to the individual (one to one), most of the sessions are provided in a large group setting. The recreation therapy groups are designed to address various therapeutic goals based on the needs of the patients, e.g. improving coping skills for depression, gaining skills to manage auditory hallucination, stabilizing mood, etc. The recreation therapy groups may be recreation-activity focused, educational, and/or process -oriented with various degrees of verbal interventions. The Recreation Therapy groups are designed for various therapeutic goals based on the needs of the patients on the unit. Examples include improving reality testing and experiencing shared reality, developing trust in self and others, improving self‐concept, ego‐strength, and self esteem, exploring and clarifying values, maximizing independent performance of life skills, identifying and utilizing constructive outlets for aggression, tension, and anxiety, improving communication skills and promoting positive means of expression, and developing copings skills to stress. The Recreation Therapy groups could be recreation activity-focused, educational, and/or process-oriented with various degrees of verbal interventions. Recreation therapy involves the informed application of improvisational, receptive and recreative methods to assist in the achievement of treatment goals. VPP meets the criteria as an approved fieldwork/internship site for Therapeutic Recreation students through the California Board of Recreation and Park Certification and the National Council on Therapeutic Recreation Certification. The standard period of hours for completion of the internship is 640 hours, a 16-week period with the intern working 40 hours per week, which exceeds the NCTRC requirements. Interns are required to commit to the full 16 weeks. The final filing date for the Spring 2013 applications will be announced in late July 2012. |
