General Interests
Interpretation for Visitors
Docents are highly trained volunteers who interpret the cultural, natural and recreational features of state parks for visitors.
Docents receive initial and continuing enrichment training to which they add their own unique approach and experiences. If you have a passion for sharing and enjoy speaking to the public, a docent position may be a good fit for you.
Interpretive activities that docents become involved with include:
- Museum Tours and Tours of the Historic Adamson House
- Educational Programs for School Groups and International Visitors
- Group tours, Garden Tours, and Holiday Tours
