Camphost

Sometimes, I like to get away from the computer and stretch my legs! I enjoy camphosting part-time (no more than 20 hours per week) in exchange for full (30A) hookups.

Even though I only camphost part-time, it is more than just a job for me. I am a graduate of Sir Sanford Fleming’s ‘Parks and Recreation’ program, which gives me formal education in campground operations and management.

Experience

I have two years experience working for a national park in all aspects of operations and administration in all four seasons as well as having camp hosted for several RV parks in British Columbia and the Yukon.

Knowledge

campground operations

patrolling and security

labour (painting, landscaping, swamping, light plumbing, snow clearing, lawn mowing, weeding, etc.)

bookkeeping/night audit

report writing (such as requests for government grants)

staff supervision

Why hire me

Since I know the basics of running an RV park and campground as well as the terminology, all I need to know is how you do things. So, when you train me, you never have to start from scratch and I can hit the ground running!

I am fluently bilingual in French and English!

Excellent references are available upon request.

Availability

I will be camphosting in Dawson City for a second summer from May 15, 2010 to September 14, 2010.

I am open to camphosting opportunities in the Okanagan or Greater Vancouver area starting December 1st, 2010, but I am not actively seeking a position at this time.
