About Our Camp Partner

Our Client operates a premier co-ed residential summer camp built on a foundation of strong family 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 a collaborative medical staff and on-site physicians in a supportive atmosphere. While the Health Center is your home base, you are encouraged to dive into the community, utilize the sports facilities, 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.

Qualifications & Requirements

We are looking for energetic Registered Nurses who love working with children and thrive in a team environment.

• Licensure: Valid New York State Registered Nurse (RN) license (or willingness to obtain with fees covered by the camp). Note: This facility exclusively accepts licensed RNs.

• Vetting: Must pass a background check and provide at least two references (one from a past or current direct supervisor and one from a clinical environment; no personal references).
