Camp Host or Whattttttt?

Remember, we were going to continue our discuss on being a Camp Host. Well, I am, going to table this for another week. As something has happen, and I need to wait until my Supervisor and Law Enforcement get together.

So, what have we been doing? Good question, as I really don't remember everything. Except for the friends we have met here in the CG.  They are really very nice people. Warm, polite, nice, they invite us to there campsites for drinks and boat rides. Really wonderful. Just know this is not me, but really for Susan they really like her. Some of you may remember me telling your about Pat & Tonna. It was them would took us out on Danny's pontoon boat on Canyon Ferry Lake, last season.

Ok, so what I have been doing, really. Well, thanks to camper friends (Pat & Tawna - Sounds like Donna) as she was quick to teach me last year. They invited me to join them at a car show. So, instead of writing alot of stuff, mainly because of what happen today.

I am just going to flood you with photos. Now, as to taking photos, either during a car show or at a local show, it is really hard to take those one of a kind photo. This is due to the influx of people, location and time of day.

However, thanks to wonderful photo friends, every now and then something comes together.

Day in the Life of a Camp Host Part 1

Hint, by clicking twice on a photo, it will enlarge it.


 So, just what is a camp host? Or better yet what is NOT a camp host.

Camp Host are NOT, Law or Rules Enforcement. It is sad, that some camp host's, given even a little responsibility, become a Camp Enforcer. 

The number 1 job of a Camp Host job is to insure, that the campers have an enjoyable time. That is it, I will come back to this at a later date. 

Ok, so what and where do we go, the first is to get to know your sites in the campground. A map is great to have on have to ID the site numbers. 


Next, get to know your tools, which will be different on the job. To day we are going to focus on our morning and late evening tools. 

Looking at the cart, toilet paper, mob, broom, gloves, sanitizer, and towels. 


Once we have the necessary tools, it's off on our route. Now along the a way, you may see something new





Today, we saw the sex life of the fish called "Carp".






Our morning rounds consist of checking and cleaning the Vault Toilets:


As you see, the vault toilets' are new. Within the last 3 - 5 years. Simple yet very effected. Our duties is to clean the surrounding surfaces. Ex: hand rails, seats and the toilet outside. We do not clean the throat of the toilet, only spray simple green inside. If the throat is a blow-out, we text our spray truck. 

We then sweep, the floors, spray simple green around the toilet base and them mop.

Finally we ensure a good supply of toilet paper & hand sanitizer. 
In all the I am usually done in 30 - 45 minutes. 

Later in the day our job will shift to the sites.


As you notice the site gets rake, not because it is a part of our job, but mainly, we have very little to do. 


Our primary job, clean the fire ring of trash, ash and big chunks of burnt wood.

So, what else does a camp host do? Well for one thing, travel around, seeing the sites and taking photos.




One of the exciting adventures:



Will talk more later.
