For over 40 years, volunteers have supported campgrounds and facilities across the province through the Alberta Parks Host Program. This group of enthusiastic campers is united by a passion for both recreation and conservation of our natural spaces. They help park visitors discover, value, protect and enjoy Alberta’s great outdoors and natural heritage.
Collectively, Hosts contribute over 25,000 hours of volunteer time yearly, helping create safer and cleaner campgrounds while enriching visitor experiences at over 30 parks across Alberta. From welcoming visitors and sharing local knowledge, to leading craft programs and educating campers about regulations, they play a key role in the operation of many parks.
The Host Program generally operates during the peak camping season from May until September, although exact dates vary by campground or facility. Applications to become a Host open in February each year for the upcoming season.
Applications to join the Host Program for the 2025 season will open on February 3, 2025. Check back then to learn more about the Host position, see the list of available campgrounds and apply.
