Guadalupe River State Park | Texas Outdoor Family Volunteer Recruiting and Training | Central Texas Area

Description

Do you love camping and state parks? Texas Outdoor Family (TOF) needs your help to share that love with new users!
TOF was created in 2008 to re-connect visitors to the hobby of camping and all things fun about State Parks. TOF does this though hosting overnight workshops where all of the camping essentials are provided to be used for the duration of the weekend! TOF also hosts activities for families to get a taste of traditional outdoor fun like fishing, kayaking, biking, geocoaching and more!
Potential Volunteer Duties: We will not ask you to host an entire workshop on your own. Instead we would love to have a pool of volunteers who we could call on to help things run more smoothly, especially for our partners who are still getting comfortable with their duties. What does helping an event run more smoothly look like? Any of the following duties: 

• helping prepare camping gear for distribution 
• be a lookout for safety concerns 
• helping collect and store the camping gear 
• deliver weather and agenda reminders to participants
• distribute bait or help anglers unhook their first fish 
• dry tents on the next sunny day after a rainy weekend 
• cook your favorite outdoor meal as a demonstartion 
• plenty more!

Accommodations at this workshop: 
Prospective volunteers at this event will be asked to share a few campsites to lessen our impact on the operating workshop. For this reason, we ask that you leave your Junior Rangers at home. They will be invited to your future events, if they hae another adult to manage them while you are occupied offering your volunteer help.Please bring your own camping gear, personal items and food for the two overnights. Our camping sites will be "water and electric," so if the June dates don's scare you, bring the extension cords and small fans. 

How to sign up: Visit this link and enter your info. Crowd size is limited. We will confirm your invitation by June 7 and re-open the invite to more folks then, if room.
