A one-of-a-kind experience in a culturally diverse recreation program designed to address issues such as socialization, anger management, self-esteem and emotional expression. The Recreation Intern follows a progressive training plan and is supervised by the director of recreation. Interns have the opportunity to develop their skills through hands-on work with children in the Green Chimneys therapeutic day school and residential treatment program.
Recreation interns are expected to help facilitate recreational activities, assist recreation staff with after-school programs, evening groups, off ground trips, and special events, and maintain documentation of assessments, evaluations, and treatment of recreational services offered to residents and day students.
Interns participate in Green Chimneys staff training, which covers all aspects of our adventure programming as well as certification in First Aid/CPR and TCI. Supervision is provided weekly by a licensed creative arts therapist.
Housing may be possible based on availability; however, housing is not available in the summer months.
Lance is one of three llamas that joined the barn in 2019. He quickly gained the reputation of being the biggest thinker; he will not do anything unless he has had the chance to think about it first. When Lance first arrived at Green Chimneys, he developed a connection with a farm intern who guided him through clicker and pack training. Over time, Lance became more confident and willing.
