There are so many great things about the camping/RV life, but did you know that there are ways you can save lots of money while helping to make the world a better place in the process?
Welcome to the world of work/volunteer camping opportunities, where organizations in need provide you a place to camp in exchange for helping them with their mission.
Work/volunteer camping is a great way to have a unique vacation experience while experiencing the benefits of giving. Get busy checking out some of these websites to help you choose a work/volunteer activity that suits you and your camping family:
This site is a favorite for those looking for opportunities to serve in national and state parks across the country. This site links real opportunities for work/volunteer campers, from park host to maintenance workers and tour guides. While much of the work listed on this site is for work in actual campgrounds, there are multiple other opportunities to explore. Check out their website to see what it might hold for you.
Many wine-loving campers already know this website for opportunities to assist with the grape harvest and wine production. Still, many don’t know that their listings also include positions at “wineries, farms, breweries, museums and more.” There is an annual fee to join, but the perks of membership are well worth it.
The only thing better than camping is doing so with as great a purpose as volunteering to help animals. This Good Sam article connects animal lovers to opportunities at animal sanctuaries and refuges. While the list is limited to a handful of opportunities, a little detective work and a few phone calls can hook you up with a campsite and a whole lot of purpose helping your furry, feathered or finned friends in need.
RV Care-a-vanners is a Habitat for Humanity program that links campers with building projects to provide clean and affordable homes to families in need. Work with this organization and reap the warm fuzzies of giving a deserving family a new home.
Volunteers with Dove work with the Red Cross to provide relief and services to those affected by natural disasters. DOVE was formed by Hurricane Sandy survivors who also lived full-time in their campers after the disaster. Visit the website to become a DOVE.
This incredible organization sprang from the desire of a Denver man and his young daughter who felt compelled to provide an RV to one family after the Camp Fire wiped out the entire town of Paradise, CA. They have since grown to deliver dozens of RVs to first responders and those affected by wildfire and other natural disasters. Volunteer opportunities are available to those who would like to deliver an RV to a family who has lost everything. Click here to read more about the beginnings of this incredible organization.
