Roper Lake
Volunteer Opportunities

Roper lake offers a volunteer opportunity for everyone. We have positions for people in the local community and/or on-site volunteers from all over the country. Volunteers are needed to staff the visitor contact station and to help out with the various maintenance projects in the park.

Volunteer opportunities are available throughout the year. On-site volunteers are provided with a campsite equipped with a water and electric hook-up, and in most cases a sewer hook-up. Review our list of positions and contact the Volunteer Coordinator with any questions or concerns.
