Description

Join the volunteer corps at Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and help us bring history to life!

Every Saturday and Sunday, rangers and Volunteers-In-Parks (VIPs) demonstrate 18th century historic weapons, either cannons or muskets depending on VIP commitment, for the visiting public. 

Historic Weapons VIPs will wear replica 18th century wool uniforms and learn to follow cannon and musket drills in Spanish. No prior experience with black powder weapons required. VIPs should be prepared to interact with the public, answer questions, and share St. Augustine and Castillo history in a friendly, professional manner 

For questions or more information, email Jill_Leverett@nps.gov
