Now Is The Time to Sign Up for Workamping

May 22, 2020May 23, 2022 Jolene MacFadden

Now is a great time to sign-up to be a workamper in Florida. The state parks are opening back up and I have been receiving emails from quite a few of the State Parks as well as The Resource Management people who arrange for personnel in the National Parks across the country. Since they are no longer controlling the one in the Ocala National Forest I will probably not be keeping any of their emails. I tried to go onto the Volunteer Portal for the Florida State Park Systems but it wouldn’t let me sign in this week.

Workamping Tips From a Pro

December 14, 2019March 14, 2020 Jolene MacFadden

You know there are just as many different types of workamping assignments as there are workampers who do them. After all, the name work smashed together with camping just means that you have been hired to do a job and in exchange you can park your recreational vehicle and be provided utilities in exchange for your work. Sometimes you get some additional monetary compensation and others they pay you outright and charge you for the campsite. As we said the work varies as does the benefits. It is really up to the company needing the work done and the workers who are willing to do the job.

Time Changes and Moving Onto New Spots

November 6, 2019March 14, 2020 Jolene MacFadden

The time has changed and the days are getting shorter and shorter. Now is usually the time that most of the workampers we know have gotten their assignments or are looking to pick up new ones. The late fall and winter months in Florida are a very tough time to get workamping assignments unless someone had to cancel their service for whatever reason. There are usually a long list of people waiting to jump in to our southern Florida State Parks and you may have a better chance at the more northern areas.

Environmental Students Volunteering This Summer

April 20, 2018March 14, 2020 Jolene MacFadden

Summer is fast approaching and there are lots of opportunities out there for environmental science students of all kinds to get a little bit of experience in their chosen field in a more laid-back atmosphere than your regular internships. There are a couple internships posted in the National Forest/Wildlife Refuge/Parks in Florida for the summer that might include housing and a little money to help you get through. Those are, generally, heavily competed for but there is an alternative you might want to consider.
