Welcome! The volunteer campground host and park resident program is a selective process. Parks keep their own volunteer schedules and select volunteers based on park needs. Help a park select you by thoroughly completing the application with your skills, talents, experience, interests and background. Many application fields are required (* or yellow highlighted). You can upload a resume. 

 

The first information that you provide sets up your account. Please enter your email address as User ID and Password that you select (no special characters or spaces).

Once submitted you will receive an email confirmation. Login anytime as a Current Volunteer to apply for multiple opportunities or update your application.  

(Please submit a separate application for each individual)
