Our health team plays a vital role in helping campers feel safe, supported, and ready to enjoy their day — whether that means sports, crafts, swimming, biking, or special camp events. This position is ideal for nurses who enjoy working with children, appreciate structure and routine, and want a summer role that is low-acuity, collaborative, and deeply meaningful .
