Volunteer with the Wisconsin State Park System

We are still accepting applications for 2025! If you have interest in becoming a campground host in 2025 or beyond, feel free to apply! Please indicate within your application of what campground you would be interested in at Kettle Moraine State Forest-Southern Unit.

Below are examples of general campground host duties.

• Reside in a campsite at the campground and volunteer a few hours per day
• Greet and assist campers with information about the property and facilities
• Assist in daily campground operations and set an example by being a model camper
• Clean campsites, check facilities and assist with light maintenance
• Dispense property information and assist with campground programs
• Enjoy the company of other campers and make sure that they enjoy their stay

Join the newly formed volunteer crew, known as Southern Kettles Off Road Riders (SKORR). We will work to continually maintain all mountain bike trails at Kettle Moraine State Forest-Southern Unit, including John Muir, Emma Carlin, and Connector trail systems. All tools are supplied.  Trail work consists of: downed tree removal, trail erosion repairs, trimming back encroaching vegetation, or whatever needs to be done.

Trail crew meets most weekends, usually Saturdays, but some Sundays instead.  Most work days are from 8am till noon, but you are not required to stay the whole time. 

If you are interested in working on an independent project within the Southern Unit, please apply.  If you have skills and are comfortable working alone on a project, brushing, trail repairs, or other ideas we may be able to help you find a project.  We will contact you to gather more information on your skills, experience and desired project.
