The Camp Host program invites volunteers to experience camping in a whole new way while serving in beautiful Maryland State Parks. A Camp Host volunteer receives free camping in exchange for working to clean and maintain their assigned camping loop, bathhouse, beach and trails daily. Our hosts are an integral part of the park team, acting as a contact point with campers in the campground and while staffing our camper contact station. These dedicated volunteers are often found walking through their camping loops greeting visitors, answering questions, and reminding campers of park policies including safety around the island’s wild horses.
Hosts must provide a minimum of 28 hours of volunteer service per week. Hosting opportunities are offered from May through October for one-month assignments. Host campsites are equipped with 30-amp electric hookups; no water or sewer hookups are available. Additional volunteer opportunities are available to hosts who show interest in helping in other aspects of park operations, such as maintenance, environmental education programs, or special event assistance.
