Experience Life In Nature As Camp Host At Palo Duro Canyon

They say that if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. That's easier said than done. I love taking naps on my couch, but I doubt it pays well. If you love the outdoors and you're near Amarillo, Texas, there may be an opportunity that's perfect for you.

If You Love Camping, A Dream Opportunity Could Be Yours In The Texas Panhandle

Palo Duro Canyon State Park is currently looking for camp hosts. The camp host job is perfect for someone who loves camping enough to do it full-time. You'll live in the park and assist people visiting the park and campground maintenance.

For me, it sounds like a dream opportunity. If you love the great outdoors, it could be your dream opportunity, too.
