Job description
Everwood Day Camp is seeking a child-friendly nurse (R.N. or Nurse Practitioner) to join our medical team. Our talented, experienced staff of nurses provide healthcare to a fantastic group of children and staff, aged 4 to 15. Responsibilities include: assessing and treating injuries, organizing daily sick calls, dispensing daily meds, entering online medical records, and responding to medical emergencies.
What is different about our Camp? A warm, friendly, family environment in the suburbs but looks and feels like a rural lakeside location...you could be in the heart of the Maine, Vermont or New Hampshire countryside but are just 30 minutes from Boston or Providence. This is the closest you will get to an overnight Camp community without having to move away from home for the summer. Spend a summer in the woods at an exciting, fulfilling job. You won't find a more rewarding and dynamic summer job and become part of a life-long camp community. Come and join our dynamic and diverse team in this seasonal role!
