العمل كمضيف مخيم في متنزهات ولاية فيرجينيا

نظرة عامة

إذا كنت تحب الناس وتستمتع بمشاركة حب التخييم، فإن متنزهات ولاية فرجينيا لديها فرص رائعة للمشاركة من خلال برنامج الاستضافة التطوعي. يساعد المضيفون موظفي الحراس في تقديم خدمة عملاء ممتازة للمخيمين والزوار. وفي المقابل، يحصل المضيفون على إقامة في المخيمات وتتاح لهم الفرصة للخدمة في أدوار مختلفة.

• "مضيفو المخيمات - يركز هؤلاء المتطوعون على مناطق التخييم في المتنزه ويعملون كسفراء للنوايا الحسنة" للمتنزه أثناء تفاعلهم مع المخيمين أثناء إقامتهم. وهم يساعدون المخيمين في العثور على مواقع التخييم وإعدادها، ويحتاجون إلى المساعدة فيما يتعلق بمرافق التخييم، ويجيبون عن الأسئلة المتعلقة بقواعد وإرشادات المتنزه. كما أنهم يقدمون خدمات لضمان نظافة مرافق أرض التخييم وتنظيمها وجاهزيتها للمخيمين.
• مضيفو الحديقة - يقوم هؤلاء المتطوعون بمعظم عملهم في المكاتب الإدارية للحديقة. وغالباً ما يعملون في محطات الاتصال ومراكز الزوار، ويساعدون في البرامج التعليمية، وكثيراً ما يعملون في المكاتب الخلفية للحديقة. وغالباً ما يقدمون المساعدة لمضيفي المخيمات.
• مضيفو التجزئة - يوجد في العديد من متنزهاتنا مرافق للبيع بالتجزئة مثل متاجر التخييم، ومطاعم الوجبات الخفيفة، والمرافق الترفيهية الفريدة من نوعها. هناك حاجة إلى متطوعين للعمل في هذه المناطق خلال ساعات العمل. يقدم مضيفو التجزئة خدمات قيّمة في المتنزهات التي تحتوي على مرافق وأنشطة تتطلب شراء وتحصيل رسوم.

يشارك أربعة وعشرون من متنزهات ولاية فيرجينيا 44 في برنامج الاستضافة، حيث يستخدم بعضها نوعًا واحدًا فقط من المضيفين بينما تستخدم متنزهات أخرى الأنواع الثلاثة. إن متطوعينا المضيفين ضروريون لسلاسة عمليات المنتزهات ونحن نقدر خدماتهم. إنها واحدة من أكثر الأشياء المجزية التي يمكنك القيام بها من أجل نفسك ومن أجل الهواء الطلق في فرجينيا.

يقوم المتطوعون المضيفون بالتسجيل في مهام 30يوم (نسميها فرص) خلال موسم التخييم. يمتد موسم التخييم من أول عطلة نهاية أسبوع في شهر مارس حتى أول عطلة نهاية أسبوع في شهر ديسمبر (قد تختلف التواريخ الدقيقة واحتياجات المضيفين المتطوعين من حديقة إلى أخرى).  يمكن للمتطوع المضيف التسجيل في أكثر من فرصة واحدة، ولكننا نرغب في أن تختبر أكثر من منتزه واحد، لذلك تقتصر المهام بشكل عام على 60 يوم في أي منتزه واحد خلال موسم تخييم معين. يمكن أن يقضي المضيفون موسم التخييم بأكمله في متنزهات ولاية فرجينيا كمضيفين، ولكن إذا فعلوا ذلك، فيجب أن يكونوا مستعدين للاستمتاع بالخدمة في أكثر من متنزه.

يتم الإعفاء من رسوم موقع التخييم (بما في ذلك إيجار الموقع، ورسوم الحيوانات الأليفة، وما إلى ذلك) طوال مدة مهمة المضيف، وتقدم العديد من المتنزهات خصومات خاصة للمضيفين على رسوم الاستخدام لأنشطة مثل ركوب القوارب والسباحة.

كيف تصبح مضيفاً

تتم الموافقة على جميع المضيفين المتطوعين من خلال عملية تقديم الطلبات التي تبدأ باستفسار أولي يتم عن طريق ملء طلب. رداً على الطلب، يتم إجراء مقابلة أولية من خلال مدير المخيم المضيف لمتنزهات ولاية فرجينيا. توفر المقابلة الأولية المزيد من التفاصيل حول استضافة المخيم وفوائدها وتتيح للمهتمين طرح الأسئلة. لا يتم تعيين المضيفين لمتنزهات أو تواريخ محددة ولكن يتم اعتمادهم للخدمة في أي متنزه بولاية فرجينيا.

يرجى الأخذ في الاعتبار أن عملية الموافقة هي مجرد عملية. بالإضافة إلى المقابلة الأولية، تتضمن العملية التحقق من الخلفية والمراجع. تستغرق العملية عادةً 3-5 أسابيع من تاريخ تقديم الطلب، لذا يجب على المهتمين بالتطوع بهذه الصفة أن يضعوا ذلك في الحسبان عند التخطيط. لا يتم توفير أي راتب أو راتب، ويجب على المضيفين توفير مقطوراتهم الخاصة أو معدات التخييم.

Selection criteria include experience in camping, prior campground or park host service, working with the public, and how well skills match park needs. Approval as a Volunteer Host allows you to serve in that capacity in any park in the Virginia State Park system. While we do our best to honor requests, hosting opportunities for specific parks at specific times are not and cannot be guaranteed, especially from year to year.

Hosts may serve in multiple parks during a calendar year, but serving hosts are asked to limit their stay in a specific park to no more than two calendar months (60 days) in that park.
