We are also looking for a lead bluebird monitor to organize this team.  Person with interest in and familiarity with birds living throughout the Upper Arkansas River Valley (AHRA) to update AHRA bird list and monitor bluebird house/nesting sites.

Our camp hosts are located at 8 campgrounds and several dispersed camping areas. They perform customer service and light maintenance at their assigned location. Our campgrounds are entirely self-service and spread over 75 miles, so park rangers may only visit once per day, making camp hosts our vital boots-on-the-ground customer service!

Volunteer Responsibilities:

• Campground Hosts maintain a list of arrivals/departures, make sure each site is ready for the next camper, answer basic questions, inform guests of campground rules, and assist visitors in making reservations through the website or over the phone.
  • Hosts in dispersed camp areas don't manage reservations but do keep track of site availability and stay duration.
    
• Maintenance duties include picking up litter, emptying fire rings, light weeding, and light restroom maintenance.

All hosts must have a fully self sufficient camping unit. No hookups of any kind are available.

Looking for 8 hosts for the 2024 season. Pairs, individuals, families with children, and people who are still working/in their careers (e.g. working remotely) are welcome to apply. Hosts are permitted to have pets.

Elevation: Varies form 6,000 to 9,000 ft

Love animals, plants, rocks, or history?  Enjoy biking, hiking, or fishing?  Good at finding and describing accessibility challenges?

Help us in our goal to create a trails description document. Take a hike on one of our trails, collect data on the things you love to do and look at, and help us create a short description of what others may experience on the trail.  (Just a few sentences are all we need!)

Information like trail slope and grade, restroom measurements, and what there is to see or do on a trail can help folks with disabilities (and anyone, really) make decisions about where and how they recreate.
