Do you already have a trailer to live in? If so this might be a great idea.

1. Workamp position usually will be a pay plus site.

2. The only thing that might hinder you is your school schedule, not the amount of hours but the time of the day you might have to be there, you might found a campground that will be willing to work with you since most kids are willing to work 7-8 hours on the weekends.
3. Here in the Northeast during the summer, lots of young teens work at the campgrounds because they'll work for minimun wage without complaints.

If you can get some experience at a hotel, fast food , children's programs(such as a Parks and Recreation) you might get a shoe in.

I would also brush up on all aspects of camping, and camping lingo.

I think what you are thinking about could be very doable. This summer where I am, a young college man stayed here in a very old comfortable Class A and workamped here for the site (working grounds) as well as some wages and worked at a restaurant in town duing the busy summer season as a waiter for more money to put towards his school season.

Last summer the park I was at had two college men for their busy summer season. If the parks and you are in the south, I would think that they could definitely use a young man for some of the grounds work that some of the other (usually somewhat older) folks would have trouble doing.

Good luck to you.


Loving the rv lifestyle!
