We are Danny and Lynda, full time camp hosts. We have been camp hosts for 2 1/2 years. During that time we have experienced camp hosting on a beautiful mountain at 9,000 feet to campgrounds at sea level. We have met people from all walks of life and from all over the world. The part we love most about camp hosting is meeting the people. As with any job, people can tell if you are enjoying what you are doing by the way they are greeted and spoken to. Camp hosting is a job that we truly enjoy and find it very satisfying. fulfilling and interesting. Some of the campers we have met, have camped close to a campground where we are hosting at and they look for us just so they can stop by and say hi and let us know they were camping there. We feel that when campers search for us just to say hi, it is a true testament of our camp hosts abilities. Our goal, as camp hosts, is to help each camper enjoy their stay and want to return to that campground and to continue to be campers. Many of the campers we have spoken to tell us they can hardly wait to get old enough to retire so they can be camp hosts. We love what we are doing and look forward to many more years of being a Camp Host Couple. Please visit Our Home page. Just click on this LINK below. http://www.camphostcouple.com |

Making the choice to become a camp host will be a lifestyle change. You will have to decide if you can give up the collections you have acquired throughout your life, give up the comfort of your home and live in a much smaller space. One big question you have to ask yourselves is how well do you and your companion get along. Remember you will be living in much smaller quarters than you are use to and many times the two of you will be alone for days. If you are like many people, you go to work every day, come home and wonder what am I doing with my life and am I getting anywhere in this job. All I do is go to work and spend money on credit cards and other bills. OK , now here is where you get to make that lifestyle change.
