what do you need to volunteer?

We are on our fourth year with OPRD. They supply everything we need except our physical labor. Because we want to we buy our own gloves. Usually one or two pair a year is pretty cheap. Depending on the park we have access to a Gator or golf cart, tools, both hand and power. If for some reason we are asked to go to another park to deliver or pick up some things, we get a state truck. Do I walk a lot? You bet. In June I lost about 6 pounds and the dog lost around 5 because we were way more acrive than at home. If you like to bike, a decent bike can be fun. Most state parks also provide a hat, a vest, or some sort of uniform so campers know who you are. Camp hosting is or can be quite varied. Some systems will want you to clean bathrooms. Others those things are paid ranger duties. I know with OPRD they ask for 20 hours per week per person for a full hookup site. Duties vary from picking up trash, cleaning fire pits, opening and closing gates to digging ditches, mowing grass, fixing sprinkler systems, basically anything a small city might need doing. Above all, they never ask me to do more than I am capable of. Since I am pretty healthy I volunteer to a lot more than the basics.
