The New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced the availability of
employment opportunities for the summer recreational season. Individuals
looking for seasonal summer employment who enjoy the outdoors are
encouraged to learn more about opportunities to work at DEC facilities.
DEC operates 52 public campgrounds and five day use areas throughout the Adirondack and
Catskill Parks. DEC hires more than 500 seasonal employees to provide a
variety of services throughout the summer season. All levels of
experience and skill sets are needed, ranging from supervisors,
lifeguards, security, maintenance, cleaning staff, and booth workers.
Some positions start as early as May, but varying start dates can be
accommodated based on school and work schedules.
