Campground Host Volunteers Needed
DES MOINES - 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.
