Benefits

Varies by posting: some seasonal Health Center roles list health insurance and travel/compensation/living packages; some summer sites provide housing and meals; a related NY instructor posting lists 100% employer-paid Delta Dental and premium medical with staff cost-sharing.

Who they are

You arrive at a residential camp in Lake Como, Pennsylvania, in the Poconos, where an 8-bed infirmary supports a 300+ person summer community. If you take the Head Nurse seat, you direct medical decisions and Health Center operations and supervise a three-nurse team for the full season.

More about Rio Staffing

Your work sits between the infirmary and the outdoors: first aid, medications, emergency response, and pediatric diabetes triage with blood-sugar stabilization on trails and fields. The schedule on record is full-time seasonal, June 8 through August 19 2026—not a year-round hospital calendar. Rio also posts related camp and instructor roles elsewhere (Miami, Maine, Upstate NY) with weekly or seasonal pay ranges, travel or relocation help on some contracts, and housing and meals at some summer sites.
