Volunteers must be able to safely lift up to 25 lbs., stand/sit for extended periods, work in both indoor and outdoor environments, and work in varying weather conditions and temperatures. Walking on uneven surfaces and routinely bending, stooping, and kneeling will often be required to perform tasks.

The park will provide the Campground Host with a fee free RV campsite with full amenities, including campground fire ring, picnic table, and water/electric/sewer hookups. Volunteers are required to reside in the campground at the campground host assigned site and provide their own dwelling (ie.. RV, camper, van, tent, etc..)

A background check will be required in order to gain access the government computer for utilizing the reservation system.
