COLORADO — Outdoor enthusiasts and state park regulars could have the opportunity to become volunteers at a Colorado State Park.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has released its volunteer applications to become campground hosts and wildlife hosts in different parks throughout the state.
A campground host has the following responsibilities:
- maintain a list of arrivals/departures,
- prepare sites for the next camper
- answer basic questions
- inform guests of campground rules
- assist visitors in making reservations through the website or over the phone
A wildlife host has similar responsibilities, but the full list of duties is dependent on the park.
According to CPW, state Parks are busiest from Memorial Day Weekend through late September, so there will be plenty of opportunities for volunteers to get outdoors.
To see a full list of host parks or to apply, visit the CPW website.
