The RV Park Activity Director

The RV Parks are beginning to advertise for Activity Directors for the Winter 2010 season.

What do you need to have on your resume' to be considered for an Activities Director position?

Just because you have never directed activities at an RV Park does not mean you should not apply for the job.   Think of experiences you have had that will translate into activities.

Have you ever planned a kid's birthday party, supervised the games, planned the activities, organized the fun?

Have you ever planned a large dinner party, or been involved in Little League planning or coaching, PTA fundraisers, booster club fundraisers, chaperoned your kids band trips?

Think of all the planning that would go into these types of activities.  You would use the same skill sets to be in charge of activities at an RV Park.

Here are a few activities you could plan on organizing for almost any RV Park you would go into.

Breakfast - cooking and serving, either have everyone bring their own table settings, or charge enough in order to provide paper plates and cups (this is my personal choice.)

Potlucks - organizing the themes, distributing fliers, and setting up the event hall.

Bingo, dominoes, cards, poker, etc. . .is basically setting up a time frame, and providing a venue. . .other than needing someone to call Bingo, participants will pretty much take care of themselves.  Bring your own snacks and drinks will alleviate the need for you to deal with that aspect of game night.

Arts and Crafts - are a necessary part of activities.  If you have no talent in this area, find someone to assist you.

We will discuss these and many other issues as we go along.
