[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"One of the volunteer positions he is looking at (has not applied yet) involves working full time at a National Park. Some of the work would be "office work" but some would be outdoors (average temp in that area is above 90 and humid) doing heavy lifting and hiking trails. The schedule would include some evening and weekend work. Volunteer so no pay, but would be offered dorm style housing (it is not in our area so he couldn't commute from our house)"

He should apply to Philmont, the Scout high adventure camp in New Mexico.  They have jobs in conservation and they had a fire a couple years back so they have plenty of work.

It's a little late for the best odds at getting a Philmont job but that is more about hounding them to find the department that still has slots.

Like most summer camps, they are kind of disorganized during the winter when they only have a few employees.

They will eventually hire over 1000 summer employees so the conservation department doesn't talk to maintenance or to the working part of the ranch. [/quote]

Thank you!  He is actually an Eagle Scout--not sure why I (or more appropriately, HE) didn't think about this![/quote]
