Campground Hosts needed for camping season
Volunteers are to serve as campground hosts in state park and state forest campgrounds, according to a press release.
The Campground Host Program allows individuals to camp in state parks and state forest campgrounds at no charge for one month, in return for providing assistance to other campers.
Campground hosts answer questions, help organize campground activities and conduct tours of the campground. The specific duties of each host are tailored to their skills and interests. Retired couples, teachers, college students and families have all served as hosts. Hosts must be at least 18 and provide service for five days for 30 hours each week, including holidays and weekends. Hosts provide their own camping equipment and personal items.
Campground hosts are chosen by park and forest managers who may require an interview or request additional information. Selection is based on the individual's familiarity with the state park or state forest system, camping experience, special skills, availability, knowledge of the area and the specific needs of the campground. Applications can be obtained from the DNR web site.
Please note that state park applications should be directed to the park where placement is sought. Volunteers wishing to serve in state parks must attend a mandatory training session in May at the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center in Roscommon. State forest campground hosts do not need to attend this program.
