They are on the front lines of a 2 million visits per year park and are considered ambassadors of park fun and engagement. The entry level GS-02 park guide works alongside more experienced staff to develop, prepare and deliver formal or informal programs related to natural and cultural resources at the park. Park Guides answer visitor questions and provide basic orientation information about the park at the front desk of the main visitor center, the Douglas Environmental Education Center, and at other roving areas of the park. Park Guides will staff information booths and tables at locations outside the park, relaying basic orientation information about the park. Park Guides assist other staff with a variety of recreation based programming such as paddling, biking, hiking, and water activities on the beach.
