The primary duty of the Beach and Boat Ramp Fee Collection Volunteer is to staff the entrance station at boat ramps and beach areas collecting fees using a cash register. Day Use Entrance Station hosts are required to provide an average of 21 hours per week and may serve the entire recreation season May through September. All volunteers must be eligible to be bonded; ineligibility will remove you from the list of candidates for this position. Reasons for ineligibility may include recent bankruptcy or bad credit history. The Corps of Engineers will bond all Day Use Entrance Station Hosts with a $5,000 fidelity bond to protect the government from loss of funds. Day Use Entrance Station hosts who wish to receive camping in return for volunteer services will be assigned a campsite with water, electric and sewer hookups in the Sandpiper Volunteer Campground.

a. Hosts will work 4 days per week rotating between Oak Grove Beach, Lakeview Boat Ramp, and Cherry Glen Boat Ramp. A schedule will be provided at the beginning of the season and adjusted as demands require.
