We are seeking an enthusiastic and compassionate Camp Nurse to join our team for an engaging and rewarding summer experience. As the Camp Nurse, you will play a vital role in maintaining a safe, fun, and educational environment for campers of various ages and backgrounds. Your responsibilities will include light paperwork, communicating with our college-aged "Health Care Manager", and advising camper healthcare during your shirt. This position is ideal for individuals who are seeking slow-paced summer employment, or additional money during a few weeks over the summer months.
Duties

The hours are flexible - usually 10-12 or 3-5, but we're happy to work with your schedule. During this time, the nurse will be in or around the health center in case any campers need help. Often times, our camp nurse has been able to relax in the health center and read a book during this time, with only occasional visitors. We host about 70 campers at a time.
- The camp nurse might be asked to assist in occasional light paperwork or prepping medicines to be distributed, but most of the time the nurse will simply be "on call".
