If you love Michigan’s great outdoors and are looking for a position with flexible hours, join the more than 1,200 seasonal park workers hired each spring/summer/fall to work in Michigan state parks and state harbors.

Seasonal park workers are key to shaping the customer experience. As the “face” of Michigan state parks, you’ll answer visitor questions, register campers, clean park buildings, maintain trails, mow grass and get creative in finding ways to help visitors create some lifelong memories.

These positions truly can make a difference in helping people fall in love with nature, camping, hiking, boating and more, and might just start you on a lifelong career path, too. In fact, many DNR Parks and Recreation Division employees started their careers as seasonal park workers and then – after gaining valuable experience – transitioned to rangers, park supervisors, accountants, trail coordinators and many other positions.

There are twenty-one Keweenaw Heritage Sites which partner with Keweenaw National Historical Park, all of which contain significant cultural and/or natural resources and share their own unique chapter of the Keweenaw’s copper mining heritage. Many of these sites rely on volunteers to make their operation and upkeep of the site possible.

Volunteering is an American tradition that has made an immeasurable contribution to communities, organizations, and individuals throughout the country. Today’s volunteers are active, dynamic, creative individuals who possess the skills, desire, patience and time to accomplish a wide variety of tasks. Volunteers-In-Parks are Very Important People (VIPs)! Volunteers donate million hours to your national parks annually. Volunteers are accepted from the public without regard to race, creed, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, or disability.

You could work at any old golf course. Or you could be part of the staff at the oldest golf course in Michigan, one built on a historic battleground.

You could work in a run-of-the-mill retail store selling items made in other countries. Or you could be the face of a unique island shop visited by people from all over the world.

You could work as a delivery driver. Or you could drive a horse-drawn carriage down the only state highway that prohibits motor vehicles.

There’s a lot of jobs you could do. But on Mackinac Island you can have a truly memorable work experience, living in a place where other people escape on vacation and meeting peers from across the globe.

Seasonal jobs on Mackinac Island run from April through the end of the tourist season after Halloween, with college students taking many of the spots during the busiest summer months when they’re on break from school. It’s full-time work, but there’s plenty of time to explore the island’s beauty and enjoy the nightlife.

In many cases, employers make shared dorm-style housing available and some also offer meal plans. Plus, workers get discounts at many island attractions!
