Camp Hosts Needed

Skihist and Gold Pan Provincial Parks in beautiful British Columbia are in need of Camp Hosts for the 2012 season.

Interested? 


Skihist Provincial Park is a 58 site campground located just north of the town of Lytton in the dramatic Thompson Canyon of British Columbia, nestled in a ponderosa pine forest. Climate is hot and dry in the summer months. Skihist is mainly an overnight campground for those traveling to northern BC and Alaska, European visitors, white water rafting groups and those looking for a getaway from the lower mainland.

The Camp Host position involves (but is not limited to) the following responsibilities:
- tourist information and hospitality
- answering questions about the park and surrounding area
- selling of firewood
- assisting with the implementation of BC Park rules, regulations and policies

As remuneration the Camp Host is provided with a full hook up site.

The Park Facility Operators (Derek and I) live on site.

Gold Pan Provincial Park is a 14 site campground located along the Thompson River just south of Spences Bridge in British Columbia. Gold Pan is also hot and dry in the summer. Gold Pan is favourited by campers who enjoy fishing and trainspotting. The campground is located along the river but also between the CP and CN railroads as well as the #1 highway.

The Camp Host position involves (but is not limited to) the following responsibilities:
- tourist information and hospitality
- answering questions about the park and surrounding area
- selling of firewood
- assisting with the implementation of BC Park rules, regulations and policies

As remuneration the Camp Host is provided with a site. This position is best filled by an RVer who is used to boondocking. There are no services at the site. A water pump with great water is available at the campground as well as pit toilets. A sani station is available at Skihist Provincial Park 20 kms away. There are NO electrical hook ups - solar panels or a generator are required. Generator hours are 7 - 9 am and 6 - 8 pm.

Park Facility Operators do not live on site and visit once a day; therefore the Camp Hosts are a 'presence' on site.






This is just the basic information. If you are interested - or think you may be - better to write us with any questions you have. We would be happy to answer.

The season runs from May 1 to Sept 30 - however start and stop dates are negotiable.

Contact Derek and I at email address    alifemadesimple3@gmail.com

Thanks!

Teresa

    1. It is VERY beautiful - we are happy to live/work in such a nice place.

      We have hi speed at Skihist via the local Internet provider. We have a receiver that picks up from a tower down the highway. That is good for us but doesn't help the host. Last years host had internet through their phone - not sure of the details or how it worked out.

      Oh no - I've seen the grumblings about the verification going around - can I go in and change something?

    We would probably throw our hat in the ring, but we have another grandbaby on the way, so we are sticking close to home ... lol.

    Good luck !! TnT
