US Army Corps of Engineers and West Hill Dam Park

We have our interview and processing appointment in January for the COE volunteer opening in Uxbridge, MA for the months of August and September 2014. West Hill Dam Park has a large natural swimming area,  picnic tables and grills, pine grove, changing house, restrooms, volleyball court, horse shoe pits, and 1/2 mile nature trial.

As I had mentioned in an earlier post, we stopped by the dam and park on a day out. We fell in love with the park right away. They have 3 RV spots open for volunteers. In exchange, volunteers get to stay for free with full hook ups. Some even receive pay for hours worked. The US Army Corps of Engineers has volunteer opportunities in almost every state. They manage 12 million acres of land and water, and care for recreational areas and natural resources.

The US Army Corps of Engineers and other federal agencies are always looking for volunteers.  They need campground hosts, visitor center staff, park and trail maintenance, and much more. It's a great way to work outdoors, and meet people, while taking advantage of some great camping resources.

To apply just go online to volunteers.gov,  for positions and fill out form.. A back ground check will be required, but what job these days doesn't.

Those who don't know much about full time RVers, may think that RVers have to pay for all their stays. Nothing could be further from the truth. Keep reading this blog and you'll soon see the sky is the limit!
