\xe2\x9e\xa2 This is not a typical job opportunity, it\xe2\x80\x99s part of a lifestyle: you will live, work, and spend a lot of your free time at the same location.
\xe2\x9e\xa2 Our campsites are rustic, without commodities except latrines / outhouses. They are usually located on forest service roads; some are more isolated than others. You could be at least 40 minutes away from the closest town and services, for example. \xe2\x9e\xa2 Providing a safe working space is Silvifor\'s highest priority. We have a comprehensive Safety Program in place which will provide you with all the tools and support needed to ensure you and your guests have a safe camping experience. \xe2\x9e\xa2 All our positions require the employees to submit a criminal record check for vulnerable populations (children and elders), as well as a driver abstract. Following your hiring, you will need to participate to some short online courses (free of charge). DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES Hosts will be responsible for running all aspects of the campground onsite operations.
As a campsite host, you are responsible to maintain a safe and secure environment for all visitors. Providing the highest customer service to our campers while maintaining a professional appearance at all times is essential. Here are some examples of the main tasks and expectations:
