Campground Hosts

Do you like. . .

. . . Camping in a beautiful area and meeting interesting people?
. . . Free use of a campground host site? (Many have electric, water and sewer hookup.)
. . . Worker's compensation if injured while working?
. . . Helping others?

. . . then the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks has a volunteer position for you. Be a campground host.

	Volunteer campground hosts serve as "live-in" hosts at camping areas. They greet new campers and others entering the campground, and assist with registration. Campground hosts advise campers of recreational activities, interpretive programs and area attractions, and may assist with minor maintenance tasks. All you need is your own camping equipment and time.

Volunteer campground hosts must be available to setup camp for two weeks or more periods and be available five days a week, eight hours a day, including holidays and weekends. The eight hours in a day will probably be staggered to accommodate heavy use times, leaving you time to hike or swim or pursue other hobbies and activities.

After a short park orientation and service effectiveness training course you're ready to start helping others enjoy Pennsylvania State Parks while having fun.
