Volunteer camp hosts greet visitors, perform general facility and groundskeeping maintenance, clean bathrooms, clean out fire rings, and perform visitor compliance checks. We provide tools and equipment to do the job and reimburse for propane. We prefer longer stays of six months, depending on vacancies and time of year.
