J01 - Jasper Point Campground Host
We would like to invite you to come out to Jasper Campground, located near Oregon’s first International Dark Sky Park (Main Camp), where the greatest show on Earth comes at night, come see the stars under our big beautiful Central Oregon sky.
This position is located at our Jasper Campground which is about 3 miles further up from Main Camp. The host site is J01 which has full hook ups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer). Due to cell phone reception being limited for AT&T and T-Mobile users, we are expanding Wi-Fi access for both campground host sites, at this time we have Wi-Fi available for the hosts at the laundry facility, which is located by the well for the campground. Those with Verizon or US Cellular typically have full coverage.
The campground hosts assist park staff with customer service, maintenance, and beautification with the goal of creating positive experiences for park visitors. The main responsibilities are campsite cleaning, but we also have two cabins, one is a rustic cabin, and the other is a deluxe cabin, which Rangers might ask you to assist with cleaning. We also ask for assistance with light landscaping which may include raking, blowing, and trimming.
If you have a skill-set that you feel would be a great asset to our park, please let me know so that we can apply it in the best possible way. If you have an interest in special projects, please let me know because we would love to apply your skill-sets in the best possible manner in relation to the scope of your duties.
For single hosts, we ask for 20-30 service hours/week. For a pair of hosts, we ask for a combined 30-40 service hours/week (Friday-Tuesday, with Wednesday/Thursday off). We ask for campground and cabin maintenance (2-3 hours) to be completed within the hours of 9am and 3pm. We would like hosts to be available from 6pm-8pm to assist in the sale of firewood and ice. We gladly make accommodation for occasions where hosts would like to go to town for groceries, dinner, etc. We just ask for communication, so all duties can be covered.
If you believe that this position is a good fit for you, or simply have questions about it, please do not hesitate to contact the volunteer coordinator, Roberto Ruiz, via text (best option), email, or phone.
