Looking for campground hosts on the St. Joe |
|
January 26, 2018 |
If you are looking for a memorable summer
experience and opportunity to experience your
national forest, the St. Joe Ranger District is
looking for volunteers to serve as campground
hosts from Memorial Day weekend through Labor
Day weekend, Friday through Monday.
The following campgrounds are in need of hosts
this summer: Shadowy St. Joe Campground, Upper
Landing Picnic and Day Use Area, Emerald Creek
Campground, Big Creek Campground, and Turner
Flat Campground.
A host helps other campers by answering
questions, providing information about the local
area, and acts as the "eyes and ears" for
identifying problems.
Hosts also help clean and maintain the
campground. They will receive training, a
uniform, and a free campsite. Hosts will need to
bring their own tent, trailer, camper, or motor
home. Most campgrounds have water and toilet
facilities, and very few have electrical or
sewer hookups.
For campgrounds don't have cell service, the
Forest Service will provide an alternate means
of communication.
Individuals or couples can be hosts. In some
cases, it may be a family affair. Often, retired
couples find it the ideal way to spend their
summer. Hosts need to be friendly, flexible and
responsible. Host applicants may be subject to a
criminal background check.
If you are interested in hosting a campground,
or would like more information about these
opportunities, please contact Jake Biar,
Recreation Technician, at (208) 245-6013,
jbiar@fs.fed.us.
Positions will remain open until filled. |
