Opportunity for EISC Campers:


Spend your summer in a state park as a campground host!

Several Iowa state parks are still looking for campground hosts for the 2024 season. If you enjoy the outdoors, camping and meeting new people, consider becoming a volunteer campground host and spend your summer in a park! Campground hosts volunteer 20 – 40 hours per week, including weekends and holidays, while living in a free campsite in the park or forest.


Campground host positions available at:


Backbone

Clear Lake (May 1 - July 8 and August 1 - October 31, due to renovations that will close the campground in July)

George Wyth

Maquoketa Caves

McIntosh Woods

Springbrook

Learn more about how to apply on the DNR's volunteer page.
