Today I am speaking with a woman who has been Workamping for one employer for many years, but decided she would like to spread her wings to a different part of the country.

Workamper Kym Spurlock is embracing a new chapter in life a few months before she turns 65.

A few years ago, she transitioned from a career in nursing into the Workamping lifestyle. She describes how that leap opened the door to new experiences she wasn’t expecting, such as managing a bait shop at a fishing camp in Arkansas.

In this episode, Kym talks about what draws people into the Workamping lifestyle, how to get started even without prior experience, and why it is never too late to try something completely different.

Kym also talks about the freedom that comes with living and working on the road, the importance of taking things slow and how Workamping has allowed her to connect with others while building a life on her own terms.

If you have ever wondered whether you could step into the RV or Workamping lifestyle later in life, Kym’s story shows you can learn as you go and still enjoy the journey along the way.

Kym’s story is a great example of what makes the Workamping lifestyle so appealing. She stepped into something new, learned skills along the way and found joy in helping others enjoy their experiences.

From running a bait shop to managing cabins and creating welcoming environments for guests, Kym discovered that being a people person is one of the most valuable traits a Workamper can have.

She also highlighted the importance of planning ahead, taking your time on the road and being open to opportunities, which she hopes will lead her to the East Coast, Oregon or somewhere in between.

Most importantly, Kym reminded us that Workamping offers freedom. It is a chance to choose how you spend your time, where you go and how you build a lifestyle that fits what you like to do.

If you are an employer looking for someone with management experience, a strong work ethic and a passion for helping people to enjoy a great time, Kym would love to connect. You can reach her directly by email at kym4041@gmail.com.

If you have ever dreamed of Workamping in a beautiful outdoor setting with mountains, lakes and unlimited recreation nearby, today’s episode might be exactly what you are looking for.

Today, I am talking with John Mahin, with the Fernan Rod and Gun Club in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It is a nonprofit shooting range located just minutes from the downtown district, but surrounded by nature.

This opportunity is a little different from many traditional Workamping jobs. There is no long list of required hours and no standing behind a counter all day.

Instead, this role focuses on maintaining a welcoming environment, keeping an eye on safety and simply being a friendly presence at the range.

In this episode, John explains what makes this position appealing for the right person, the kind of responsibilities involved and why this could be a perfect fit for someone who enjoys the outdoors and is seeking a relaxed Workamping lifestyle.

The position comes with a free full-hookup RV site and plenty of free time to explore the area.

Rather than working a strict schedule, Workampers at the club have light responsibilities, such as keeping the facility clean, assisting during public events and helping to maintain a safe environment.

The role mostly involves maintaining a presence at the shooting range and assisting members.

This is a volunteer position, but the free RV site is a real plus in a region where campsites can be expensive.

It is an ideal opportunity for individuals or couples who are comfortable around firearms, enjoy meeting people and appreciate outdoor recreation.

John emphasized that the best candidates are responsible, personable and always aware of their surroundings, especially since safety is a top priority at the range.

If this sounds like a good fit for you, you can learn more by visiting the Fernan Rod and Gun Club’s website at FRGC.org, or apply by emailing John directly at johnm.fgc@gmail.com.

Today, I am interviewing the operations manager for a large network of RV resorts about Workamping opportunities available in many states. If you are looking for a Workamping opportunity with variety, flexibility and room to grow, this episode will be worth your time.

My guest today is James Curtis, with Travel Resorts of America. It is a company with 13 locations stretching from Florida to South Dakota.

James explains how the company is evolving, with many parks transitioning to the Red Rover brand while still honoring longtime memberships.

He also shares how Workampers are employed by the resorts to serve in many positions and explains what traits makes a Workamper truly great.

He stressed why attitude and a sense of community matter so much, and described how some Workampers can move from entry-level positions into leadership roles.

James discusses scheduling, pay, benefits, cross-training and the kinds of applicants who stand out in the hiring process.

If you have ever wondered what it might be like to work at a park where teamwork matters and where there may be opportunities to move between locations, stay tuned.

James offers a helpful look at what Travel Resorts of America is seeking and why his own RV Park, Gettysburg Battlefield Resort, may appeal to Workampers looking for a rewarding experience this summer.

With parks across the eastern United States, plus locations in Minnesota and South Dakota, Travel Resorts of America offers a wide range of settings and job opportunities for solo Workampers, couples and even families.

He said the company hires for many kinds of roles, including housekeeping, maintenance, front desk, reservations, snack bar, activities and hosting.

He also made it clear that Travel Resorts values flexibility, cross-training and a positive attitude, especially from people who want to be part of a community rather than simply fill a job.

James explained that all hours are paid and a free RV site plus utilities are included in the package. In fact, some workers return year after year or even move between parks within the company.

For people who want to spend a season in a fun destination area while gaining experience in the campground industry, that can be an appealing combination.

James encouraged interested Workampers to apply early, especially in late summer and fall when many hiring decisions are made for the following season.

For more information about Workamping opportunities with Travel Resorts of America, contact the individual campground that interests you or visit the company online at www.travelresorts.com.

James also said prospective applicants may email him directly at jcurtis@travelresorts.com.
