Interns will be involved in assessing participant needs, planning individualized programs and activities, working directly with participants in program implementation and documenting progress for participant evaluation. Interns will also be involved in program promotion, marketing, planning and conducting events, fundraising, outreach and advocacy, and direct services to individuals with disabilities in a variety of outdoor and recreational settings and school programs.
Recreational Therapy internships are offered in compliance with current NCTRC standards.

Internship priority is given to students studying therapeutic recreation. If we have availability during a given semester, we will accept students from other disciplines (such as exercise science, psychology, outdoor education, etc) pending we can meet your school’s requirements. Please contact us to discuss this option.
