ALBANY- The state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is seeking volunteer Campground Ambassadors to help welcome and assist the millions of visitors to state campgrounds in the Adirondack and Catskill Parks expected this coming year. DEC encourages New Yorkers who are passionate about camping and the outdoors to apply to be volunteer ambassadors.
By introducing new visitors to DEC campgrounds, State lands, and sites and offering fun and exciting programming for campers, DEC’s Campground Ambassador program is inspiring the next generation of outdoor adventurers and environmental stewards,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “During the 2023 season, Campground Ambassadors helped DEC enhance the visitor experience at our facilities with fun, educational, and meaningful programming opportunities. I encourage New Yorkers with a passion for camping and the outdoors to join the DEC team as we connect visitors to nature for generations to come.”
Campground Ambassadors serve two weeks during the DEC’s core camping season (July through Labor Day). Ambassadors also aid in connecting campers and day users to nature via environmentally themed activities and programming. In exchange for volunteer service, DEC provides a free campsite for the duration of the ambassador’s stay.
