Camp hosts will welcome day use visitors and campers, provide directions, advise visitors of activities occurring within the forest and the surrounding area, answer questions and educate visitors on recreation area rules and regulations. Hosts monitor the campground to ensure visitors occupy their sites in accordance with Forest Service policy, are displaying applicable documentation, and are vacating sites in a timely manner at checkout. Volunteer hosts routinely perform minor maintenance duties such as cleaning bathhouses & restrooms, grounds upkeep (eg. assist with pickup of litter and debris, spraying weeds, limited mowing), cleaning out fire pits, picking up litter, cleaning waterless toilets located along the lakeside trail, blowing leaves off of parking areas, and other duties as assigned. Record keeping and occasionally filling out forms is also required. Campground hosts are expected to provide timely information to Forest Service recreation staff regarding potential safety concerns as well as maintenance and repair needs raised by visitors or through personal observations. Two of the most important jobs as campground host are to provide an enjoyable camping experience for the public and assist staff in protecting forest resources. A reimbursement is available upon completing 30hrs/week.
