• Housing & Meals: Private bedroom provided with a shared bathroom right in the Health Center. Full room and board (all meals) are completely covered!

Our Client operates a premier, high-energy sleepaway camp nestled in beautiful Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, right in the heart of the Pocono Mountains. Catering to a tight-knit community of 165 campers alongside an energetic counselor staff, this camp is built on community, fun, and total support for every individual.

The Health Center here is a vital, bustling hub of camp life, not an isolated clinic. Our Client invests heavily in their medical staff, operating with a robust team of 5 to 6 nurses and a dedicated Healthcare Administrator to manage paperwork and logistics. You will be fully integrated into a collaborative, lively camp culture where your presence is celebrated and you truly get to experience the magic of summer camp.

As a Camp Nurse, you will support both the physical and emotional well-being of the camp community. Because of the excellent staffing scale (5–6 nurses), you will work as part of a true team to split daily responsibilities seamlessly.

Key Clinical Duties:

• Daily Medical Care: Provide high-quality care to campers and staff handling minor camp injuries, typical summer illnesses, and general triage.

• Medication Administration: Manage and distribute daily medications accurately according to camper health forms.

• Record Keeping: Maintain accurate, organized electronic health records and logs.

• Parent Communication: Act as a warm, reassuring point of contact to communicate health updates with parents when necessary.

• Team Collaboration: Partner with the camp leadership and the specialized "Camp Care" team to support the mental and emotional well-being of the kids.

• Emergency Response: Respond promptly to emergencies on camp grounds and coordinate off-site care if higher-level medical attention is needed.

Qualifications & Requirements

We are seeking compassionate, proactive healthcare providers who can bring great energy to our camp family. While this is a co-ed camp and all qualified nurses are encouraged to apply, a female nurse is preferred to assist with the privacy needs of our female camper cabins.

• Licensure: Active RN license in PA or a compact state RN license..

• Experience: Previous experience working with children is highly preferred (school nursing, pediatrics, ER, or past camp settings).

• Soft Skills: Exceptional organizational and communication skills. You should feel comfortable collaborating closely within a team of fellow nurses.

• Camp Spirit: A positive attitude, flexibility, and a genuine willingness to jump into the camp community and traditions during your shifts!
