About Our Camp Partner

Our Client operates a premier 7-week residential summer camp catering to campers aged 8 through 15. This camp is built on a foundation of strong values, community orientation, and a high-energy "camp life" culture.

When you join this team, you aren't just a face in a clinic; you are an essential member of a vibrant, multi-disciplinary health team. You will work alongside three other nurses and on-site physicians in a collaborative atmosphere. While the Health Center is your home base, you are encouraged to dive into the community, utilize the fitness studios, enjoy the private lake, and become a true part of the summer family.

The Role: General Responsibilities

As a frontline resource for the health and safety of the entire camp, you will manage a variety of pediatric and adolescent health needs. You will work 8 hours per day, 6 days per week, with a schedule coordinated by the Head Nurse.

Key Clinical Duties:

• Health Screenings: Conduct intake screenings for campers and staff, including temperature and skin checks.

• Medication Administration: Manage the organized distribution of medications for a diverse camp population.

• Acute Care: Provide care for common camp ailments, including tick removal, topical skin conditions, dehydration, and viral infections.

• Clinical Operations: Manage medical logs, patient paperwork, and Health Center communications.

• In-Patient Care: Monitor and care for campers who need to stay overnight in the Health Center.

• Rotation: Participate in a nighttime "on-duty" rotation to ensure the community is supported 24/7.
