Campground
Host Volunteers Needed
Posted 7 May 2009
The Iowa Department
of Natural Resources is looking for volunteers to act as campground
hosts in Iowa's state parks.
Live-in campground hosts provide a friendly presence in campgrounds,
perform valuable work, and act as models for other campers.
The primary responsibility of the campground host is to assist campers
by answering questions and explaining park rules in a cheerful and
helpful manner. Volunteers should be familiar with state part and
forest campground rules and the reasoning behind them.
From May through September, campground host volunteers serve as
"live-in" hosts for at least a four week period. The host stays on the
campground in a designated free campsite in the park with a "Host" sign
and a "Host" cap or pin.
Other campground host duties include helping with registrations,
directing people to points of interest, litter control and light
maintenance.
To apply, contact the specific park supervisor either online at http://www.iowadnr.gov/volunteer/camphostpage.html,
or by contacting Jolene Richeson at 515-242-3399 or Jolene.Richeson@dnr.iowa.gov.
Applications will be accepted all summer and should be turned into the
park supervisor where you wish to host. | | |
