What we found: The refuge’s official involvement page invites people with an RV or motorhome to staff its visitor center in exchange for a gravel pad with full hookups. Duties include opening and closing the building, greeting visitors and answering refuge and area questions. This is a residential visitor-service programme on the Eastern Shore, separate from a campground-host assignment. The page requests direct contact and does not provide specific unfilled dates. Its separate spring/summer internship recruitment should not be assumed to carry the same RV terms or workload.
