Description
A project helping injured people back into the ocean and the wild situated 400 metres from the beach on the pacific side of Panama in Cambutal.
We need adventure minded people to help with the camp and have been operating for a few years and now it's time for maintainance on the camp,so no clients for now.
We are avid waterpeople and love all watersports.
Your hosts have lived and sailed the world and have now settled In Cambutal but still keep a racing sailiyacht over in the islands of Bocas del Toro and still do odd trips with workaways and clients when time permits.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In return for 20 hrs of work each week, either half days or odd full day you get "glamping style" accommadation in a beautiful and natural environment walking distance from the beach on the wild pacific side of Panama.We have amazing surf,great fishing ,incredible oceanlife ,whales and turtles as well as waterfalls and jungle hikes .We have ocean kayaks,surfboards fishing rods and bicycles for use and our community is very international and down to earth living in this very safe piece of paradise.A great place for all level of surfers,beginner beach breaks to demanding fast point breaks.
I connect with all workaways,become friends ,who then get to see a guy living life normally using a wchair in a remote part of the world and who will sweat along side you for the work needed doing and invite you to join this special community of "mostly off the grid,alternate thinking people "who are not interested in the rat race but prefer nature and forging relationships.This area is normally quite expensive for accommodation with international tourists coming through and staying at the exclusive yoga surf retreat or beach hotel.
This experience,if you are chosen will provide free comfortable accommodation and an introduction into the tight knit community where people then find themeselves coming back for more of this lifestyle and some even moving here permanently.
Help
I use a wheelchair due to damaged leg nerves and am the current 6x world champion in Para Adaptive Surfing.
I need like minded healthy fit people to help with light work.No major experience necessary but you must be willing to be neat and tidy but able to get grubby with either painting ,cutting wood ,gardening and general light build work to help at this wheelchair friendly facility.
Due to aches and pains of wheelchair life and a demanding environment, bodyworkers,therapists or Physios are also welcome.
I am well known and respected in the area and have brought a number of differently abled people here to experience the healing vibe.
Some have never left .
Enthusiasm,open mindedness and curiosity are welcomed.

Accommodation
Accommodation is your own private glamping style camping trailer with double bed ,private kitchen ,private bathroom toilet .You will need to provide and cook for yourselves .I do not cater or cook for people as everyone has different food needs.
(I offset this by providing free surfboards,kayaks ,fishing equipment, a motorbike, free fuel and a bicycle. Plus exploration trips to secluded beaches and waterfalls. )
Food is v cheap and easy to obtain and the people I am looking for ,need to be self sufficient.We do have a weekly organic vegetable delivering cheap fresh veggies and also do weekly town runs to buy food and materials. We get lots of fresh fish ourselves or cheap from the small fishing port.
Cheap Food and drink can also be easily bought at the market ,beach resturant or hotel that is walking distance down the road.Meals range from 3 usd a meal to 10 usd .We drink the water from the taps which is tested clean and clear from our private borehole.
What else ...
We tend to work around the surf and ocean conditions ,we work hard mainly during the early mornings when it's cooler. Exploring waterfalls ,secluded remote beaches and the caves always seems to be enjoyed by our workaways.
I am serious about finishing and beautifying the project ,but also serious about having a good time .We have a "work hard play hard ethos."
This is a tropical environment and can get hot but we all sweat together.
There is local transport running to the main town of Tonosi and surrounding areas for main supplies,bank etc.
The main vibe around our little town is yoga,surfing and group get togethers for music jam sessions with a fantastic social environment of International people where everyone knows everyone and you never feel alone.
We do not have any "set" ideas on how anyone "should" be .
At our camp people are free to express themselves as they wish,we welcome and respect different points of view and beliefs or religion ,but expect tolerance and an open mind from everyone toward everyone here.
This is a place where you are free to build the biggest bonfire that you can from all the driftwood on the beach and dance wild under the stars.
