On April 1, 2014, I and my wife are scheduled to begin a two month stint as camp hosts at a state park. The identity of the park will be revealed upon starting the gig. In the meantime, we will be preparing for the adventure and may solicit solutions to problems we face.
We will be living in a small but well equipped Lance 1575 travel trailer and are taking bikes, and various watercraft with us. The trailer has an awning, slide-out dinette, solar panel, microwave, stove top, furnace, 3 way refrigerator/freezer, bathroom with shower, propane, and a queen sized bed. Having only camped for a few days at a time, living in the trailer for two months will be a challenge, even though we've been married for 44 years.
So what is a camp host. Here is the official general description:
Camp host duties vary according to each park but generally include providing visitor information, staffing visitor centers and museums, maintenance projects and general housekeeping. Most hosts work approximately 20 hours a week and, in exchange for those services, the hosts are provided with a campsite during their stay.
