Looking for a Camp Host at beautiful Howard Miller Steelhead Park at the gateway the entrance Cascade National Park

heronSkagit County Parks and Recreation is looking for camp hosts!  Our park is on the wild and scenic Skagit River at the gateway to Cascade National Park.

As a host, you will have an opportunity to greet campers, answer questions, and perform light maintenance duties. This may include litter pick-up, opening restrooms, and mowing lawns. Hosts may assist with other projects based on park needs and the skills and interest of the host.  Hosts will work five days per week and be paid for 10 hours of work each week.
