2026 Summer Volunteer

more than "Just a Nurse"

Camp Nurses have several duties around camp. They are in charge of handling and dispensing camper medications as well as treating any incidental injuries that may occur at camp. You can often find the camp nurse talking with homesick campers, providing water at camp activities, working alongside the camp staff, and being another friendly face to make our campers feel at home.
Apply today! The camp nurse can be a male or female adult meeting the state and camp requirements for being a camp nurse. Look through the list of credentials below to see if you qualify.
