As a Visitor Services Technician, you will help staff the Visitor Center at Staunton State Park. You will greet visitors, answer questions and provide maps. It also includes selling annual and day park passes, retail items and OHV/Boat/Snowmobile registrations. Our Visitor Center/Entrance Window are combined in our new Visitor Center that opened in May of 2019. It is the hub of the park, and the staff who work it are critical! We try to staff the Visitor Center 8-4 Friday-Monday through the winter, but if we get enough volunteers we will keep it open every day of the week. During the summer we still need help on days we are low on staff.
