I'm working this summer. Or at least hosting in Panama City Beach, Florida. This will be my second summer at the same park. I have been here 3 weeks so far and am scheduled until early September.

I was there several years ago, our Scout Troop camped there. Nice place. We also climbed one of the nearby Peaks of Otter.

What does the job of a host involve?

Well for me it means a few walks around the campground during the day... answering questions about the area (info provided).. I have to be available 4 hours a day 5 days a week for this... I am also provided with a 2 way radio in-case of emergency..

First of all, you have to agree to stay for a minimum time. Probably a month. Sometimes, it's longer such as the case with Edatlanta. Next, you will probably get a job description. It could be anything such as described above or manning the contact station or working on projects. You will most likely know what's expected before you agree to take the job. Also, you'll know what is provided such as sewer. For me, that's a requirement.:hihi:

They wanted a minimum 2 week commitment... I took 3-2 week slots over the summer at 2 different campgrounds.
