picnickers, campers and groups for both the organized group campground
and the Environmental Learning center. Along with these park attractions
also come a variety of volunteers to the park.

as campground host since 1991.Sandra and Harold assign sites, answer park
visitor's questions, inform campers of rules and regulations, issue
rent-a-ten equipment, and perform light janitorial services of the comfort

and rake the playground beds on a daily basis.

rather be than here." Harold also likes to welcome both old and new
visitors to the park. Both Sandra and Harold are very happy volunteers.
