The position offers an hourly wage of $15.33 and includes on-site accommodation in a tiny house provided by Moro Bay State Park.

Duties for the seasonal park interpreter role at Moro Bay include conducting pontoon boat tours, leading kayak excursions, and organizing resource and history-related programs for park visitors, both on-site and off-site, including school groups.
