Description

This position is perfect for a volunteer who enjoys interacting with people and working in a retail sales position. Volunteers can pick from two work seasons of mid-May through July 11, 2010 or July 12th through September 26th, 2010, or they may work both if desired. A campsite with full hookups is provided in exchange for working for at least 20 hours per week. The camp store attendant is responsible for assisting staff in setting up for the season, selling store items, restocking items, and conducting an inventory at the end of each month. Volunteers are asked to work weekends and holidays, and typical days off will be Monday-Thursday. Couples are welcome and can work in other volunteer duties around the park when the store is closed.
