RivCoParks is seeking volunteer camp hosts for Idyllwild Regional Park and Hurkey Creek Park. Camp hosts provide a minimum of 20 work hours per week in exchange for a rent-free campsite, which includes electrical, water, and sewer hookups where hosts may park a suitable motorhome or travel trailer in good repair.
The primary role of a camp host is to provide park visitors with information, assistance, and services. This is accomplished by encouraging compliance with park rules and regulations, acting as a contact in the event that emergencies occur when a ranger is off duty, and, when trained and authorized, collecting fees from a kiosk.
Depending on the location, additional camp host roles may include staffing a nature center or camp store, interpreting resources, maintaining facilities and/or landscaping, removing litter, making simple repairs, and performing light housekeeping and janitorial duties or other work as assigned to support park operations.
Applicants must be over the age of 18, physically able to carry out the assigned duties, and own a suitable recreational vehicle or park trailer, described as a motor home or travel trailer in good repair
Volunteer applications are available at www.rivcoparks.org. For additional details, contact Deborah Newell at 951-955-2264.
