You Say Goodbye, and We Say Hello... Workampers Needed Now

The Vineyards Campground, known for it's outstanding staff, are pictured here receiving recognition at a Grapevine City Council meeting for being an award winning campground—TACO's 2009 Best Medium-Size Campground! So, it's hard to say goodbye to fellow workampers and friends as the camping seasons come and go each year.

Yet, it's a natural cycle in our Workamper industry. The City of Grapevine's Lake Parks system, which includes The Vineyards Campground, has openings now for several 6/12-month contract positions. These 'experience-preferred' positions are for dependable, hard working couples that have great customer service skills.

Interested couples will need to be available to begin work within the next 6-10 weeks (March/April 2010), depending on the exact position. Applicants will be interviewed in person or by telephone, and then a review panel will consider the best-qualified applicants for each position. A full-service site, discounts on store products, laundry and a daily stipend are provided with each position.

Positions do have varied schedules and park locations, but will average 10-14-days per month/per couple. The Lake Parks currently need:

+ Three Park Attendants: collect daily fees, sell Annual Boat Ramp Passes, and monitor park activities.

+ One Park Host: clean cabins and restrooms, order campground supplies, assist with campstore and special events.

+ Two Campstore Attendants: monitor store, rentals, inventory, special events, Annual Boat Ramp Passes, and all duties associated with a camp store operation.
