Our Camp Partner is a well-established residential boys camp in Wisconsin, serving approximately 200 campers ages 8–16.

The camp is known for its strong community, high-energy environment, and robust athletics and waterfront programs. From water skiing to team sports, campers stay active all summer — creating a dynamic setting for medical staff.

The Health Center is a collaborative, well-supported team that includes:

• Medical Director (Nurse Practitioner)

• Additional NP support

• Nursing staff and seasonal medical team members

Medical staff are fully integrated into camp life and play a key role in supporting both the physical and emotional well-being of campers.

The Role

This role is ideal for healthcare professionals who enjoy working with kids in an active, outdoor environment.

As part of the Health Center team, you will provide day-to-day medical care, respond to minor injuries and illnesses, and support overall camper wellness — similar to a school nurse role, but in a residential camp setting.

Due to the active nature of camp, experience with sports injuries, emergency response, or outdoor environments is highly valued.

• One full day off per week

• Daily schedule includes built-in breaks

• Busiest periods:

• Morning and evening medication times

• Lighter windows mid-day and afternoon

• Team-based scheduling and coverage

Clinical Care

• Assess and treat routine injuries and illnesses

• Provide first aid and triage care

• Respond to urgent situations when needed

• Support injury care related to sports and waterfront activities

Medication Administration

• Organize and distribute daily medications

• Maintain accurate documentation

• Prepare medications for off-site trips or activities

Communication & Team Collaboration

• Communicate with parents when appropriate

• Work closely with the medical team and camp leadership

• Support counselors and staff with health-related concerns

• Be visible and approachable throughout camp

• Provide reassurance and emotional support to campers

• Contribute to a safe, positive camp environment

Qualifications

• One of the following active certifications ( Male & Female nurses accepted) :

• Registered Nurse (RN)

• Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

• Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

• Minimum 1 year of experience in at least one of the following:

• Emergency / urgent care

• Pediatrics

• School nursing

• Sports medicine or athletic environments

• Current CPR / First Aid certification (required)

• Ability to assess, triage, and respond to injuries and illnesses independently

• Comfortable working in an active, outdoor setting with a high volume of sports and waterfront activities

• Strong communication and teamwork skills

Who Will Thrive Here

• Healthcare professionals who enjoy working with children and teens

• Individuals who are calm, adaptable, and team-oriented

• Those who thrive in active, outdoor environments

• Candidates looking for a meaningful and engaging summer experience

Why This Role Stands Out

• Supportive, experienced medical leadership team

• Private, air-conditioned housing with great amenities

• Active, engaging environment — no two days are the same

• Strong sense of community and teamwork

• Opportunity to use both clinical and interpersonal skills
