The RV Park Activities Center. . . or in other words. . .the Facilities

What do you look for as far as facilities for activities at a park?



As I am sure you have observed in your travels, RV parks have facilities as varied as a room with a few chairs, and a TV, all the way up to a commercial kitchen, and complete set up for rallies. . .

If this is your first activities position, you will want to research the facilities, and the easiest way to do this is online. . .simply go to the RV Park website. . .and see if they have any pictures posted of their Clubroom, or their Library, any game rooms they may have, etc.

Most really large parks have a list of the activities that are provided. 

 Research the list, and see how many of the activities are a fit for you. . .do you love to cook. . .if they serve breakfast every Saturday morning, as we do here, you will need to know how to prepare and cook for a crowd.

If crafting is listed as an activity, you will either need to have some crafting skills, or you will need to be very gifted at twisting arms, and getting others involved in teaching craft classes for you.

For your very first Activities Position, perhaps it would be best to start with a small park.  This would give you an opportunity to spend one on one time with the guests, and discover what they love doing, and design your activities program around their wishes.

Flexibility will be the key. . .when you arrive at a park. . 
.the facilities, and the budget will determine what you can make happen.

As we progress in our discussions, I will give you step by step pointers on activities, 
functions, and crafts that anyone would be able to bring together.

Hope this answers your question. . . feel free to comment, and to ask additional questions.
