The School Ground Host Program started in the summer of 1999. This program consists of an agreement between the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and full-time retired R.V.'ers from all over the country. These R.V.'ers are provided a cost free place (including electricity and water, but not including sewer hookup) to reside at any facility in exchange for reporting the "sightings" of any vandalism or suspicious activity to the proper authorities. It also allows R.V.'ers to travel throughout the Kenai Peninsula as there are two sets of R.V.'ers at each facility in order to allow a little mobility to the participants.
There was limited interest shown during the first year of the program, but in 1999 one of our "hosts" wrote an article in Trailer Life magazine commending the program. The article resulted in a flood of interest for the summer of 2000 (and 2001). In 2000 over 20 facilities were involved.
