Displaying my ignorance

I have looked on the Volunteer.gov site and have seen under volunteer postings from Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation the following language:
"Camp-rate reimbursement will be provided." From BLM posting
"Hosts eligible to receive camp rate of $34/day for 5 days of the week with 2 days off. Volunteer responsible for reporting all taxable income." From BOR posting.
Can someone tell me what this means?

Thanks
Ignorant but wanting to learn.

    I would "guess" that instead of giving you a free camping space with the red tape required, they pay you a certain amount either $170 or $238 a week which evidently is what the standard charge for a site is. it sounds like they don't fill out a 1099/w-2 or whatever and you are on your own to report that.
