Carson City Parks and Recreation seeks snowshoe volunteers for upcoming season
The Carson City Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department is looking for adults interested in volunteering to assist leading snowshoe trips.
The department is hoping to offer at least a couple trips each month while there is snow on the ground.
Trips we be located at various location within Carson City (when there is snow) or the general Tahoe Basin area.
Trips will also vary in length and difficulty, though most will be geared towards beginner participants.
Assistant trip leaders will assist trained Parks and Recreation staff on various tasks, but primarily will be there to help keep the group together.
Qualifications to be an Assistant Trip Leader:
- Must be at least 18 years old
- Must be able to pass a background check
- Wilderness First Aid Certification (training can be provided)
- Experience snowshoeing on entry level terrain
- Availability/willingness to assist with a minimum of 4 outdoor program trips throughout the year (future hiking/biking/backpacking/kayaking trips available in the summer/fall)
If interested, please send an email to Dan Earp, djearp@carson.org and you will be emailed a volunteer application. A Wilderness First Aid class is being offered to volunteers on Tuesday, December 1st from 1pm-5pm for those who are available. Other opportunities will be available throughout the winter, however volunteers cannot help out with trips until the certification is complete.
Stay tuned for future volunteer recruitments for backpacking and kayaking trips as we get closer to summer.
