State Park Campground Hosts Needed

If you love to camp and enjoy working with people, you might have what it takes to be a great campground host! In exchange for a free campsite, campground hosts commit to at least 4 weeks of service. Tasks include answering questions, explaining rules and regulations, helping with registration, directing people to points of interest, litter control, light maintenance, and other responsibilities as agreed upon with park staff. To download an application and to see a list of parks needing hosts, visit http://www.iowadnr.gov/volunteer/camphostpage.html or contact Elizabeth Gull at (515) 281-0806 or elizabeth.gull@dnr.iowa.gov.

"Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness,
courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to
that daily routine of living we like to call normal."
- David Assael
