Job description

The Center of It All...

Camp Verde's central location, along with its temperate year-round climate, abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, and bucolic setting and the banks of the Verde River, make it one of Arizona's premier tourist destinations. Less than an hour from Phoenix, Flagstaff, Prescott and Payson, Camp Verde and the surrounding Verde Valley offer numerous venues for visitors interested in history, cultural heritage, boating, hiking, biking, wine tasting, or just taking in the landscape. Add to that mix the Out of Africa Wild Animal Park and Cliff Castle Casino and you can begin to see why Camp Verde caters to all ages and every taste. In June 2018, Camp Verde became officially the 20th Dark Sky Community and received their Dark Sky Community recognition from the International Dark-Sky Association! An IDA International Dark Sky community is a town, city, municipality, or other legally organized community that has shown exceptional dedication to the preservation of the night sky through the implementation and enforcement of a quality outdoor lighting ordinance, dark sky education, and citizen support of dark skies. Camp Verde is the fifth dark sky community in Arizona, and the 20th designated dark sky community in the world. Wonderfully enough, designated first in the world dark sky community is Flagstaff which is only one hour away from the Camp Verde area. In October 2018, Town of Camp Verde hosted their first Dark Sky Festival to celebrate the recognition and all things dark sky. Explore Camp Verde here.
