Position Description:
MID-SEASON REPLACEMENT CAMP HOSTS:
Sometimes things just happen. Hosts or their family members get sick, their RV or Camper becomes non-fuctional, or personal circumstances change, and other people learn they just aren't a good fit for the Camp Host life. With 6 states and approximately 300 campgrounds, it is bound to happen. Openings Happen. We keep everyone's applications who apply, but any of those who we don't hire at first, may get hired at a different company in the meantime.
This position is for candidates that specifically want to be considered for positions that open up during the summer season. Perhaps you aren't available until late June or sometime in July. Maybe you only want to work for American Land & Leisure and are willing to wait for any openings that become available after the summer season has started. We would like to identify those who fit in these catagories, so we have developed the Mid-Season Replacement Camp Host position. Like all of our applicants, you can be as specific or as general as you want to be when designating where you'd be willing to work. Of course, the more places you are willing to work, the better your chances of an opening matching your wants. Submit a Mid-Sesason Replacement General Camp Host Application to indicate your willingness to join the team later if an opportunity opens up.
