UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
For Camp Nurse at a Multicultural Residential Summer Camp with separate girls-only and blended sessions for children ages 7 - 15!
June 23 – August 3, 2024 (for 1-6 weeks during that period)
Camp Kupugani is a multicultural residential summer camp focusing on diversity and communication skills in a fun atmosphere. We unite children of diverse backgrounds, and provide them with essential skills to empower themselves and build community in an increasingly diverse society. Children from ages seven to fifteen participate in a two-, four- or six-week session of our unique summer camp. While typical summer camps are relatively homogeneous and do not challenge campers to stray from their comfort zones, ours focuses on addressing issues of difference and on building self-esteem and community. The children enjoy a fun, challenging camp experience, including activities like rock climbing, river walking, canoeing, playing under waterfalls, and night hikes under the stars, and special team building activities and games so that fun and personal growth coincide.
We are looking for a dynamic, warm, exuberant, experienced person who is passionate about our vision.The Camp Nurse will participate in an orientation with a camp director, followed by our multicultural residential summer camp program in Leaf River, IL (less than two hours west of Chicago).

Compensation:
The preferred compensation is, for each two weeks' nurse service, to offer a full tuition waiver exchange ($2695 value) for a child ages 7-15 whom the nurse would like to have at camp. Alternatively, pay is $1200 per two-week session, from June 23 – July 6 (blended camp), July 7 – July 21 (blended camp), or July 21 – August 3 (girls camp); it is also possible to do a one-week stay as nurse. Room and Board is provided, plus Worker’s Compensation Insurance, and liability insurance. It is strongly recommended that the Camp Nurse also retain personal Medical Malpractice insurance. The Nurse is provided private quarters in the camp’s newest building, the Health Center.

Need-based scholarship assistance is also available (to all campers).)

The Camp Kupugani Mission
“Kupugani” is a Zulu concept meaning “to raise oneself up.” The fundamental point of Camp Kupugani is—in a residential camp setting—to expose children of varied backgrounds and ethnicities to each other. Living, playing, and working together are the best teachers of instilling bonds of friendship and trust. They represent an important step towards breaking down societal barriers that prevent positive interaction. Camp Kupugani provides a safe atmosphere where children are individually empowered via enhancing their communication skills and engaging in community building. By way of carefully selected program activities, we bestow upon them the tools to maximize their potential, free of the sometimes-limiting restrictions of school and predisposed social patterns. At Camp Kupugani, kids have fun while changing their world.
