The Role & Clinical Scope

We are recruiting dedicated, patient-centered Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to join our collaborative 4-person nursing team for the 2026 summer. Working alongside peer clinicians and visiting doctors, you will handle walk-in triage, routine medication rounds, and daily camper health care within our 8-bed infirmary.

Diagnostic & Safety Demonstrations: Administer basic point-of-care testing (such as rapid strep tests); lead concise safety briefings for camp counselors (e.g., proper emergency EpiPen deployment).

Family & Team Communication: Provide clear, reassuring, and timely medical updates to parents, camp leadership, and clinical colleagues.

Emergency Preparedness: Respond decisively to pediatric injuries or acute illness; execute established emergency protocols for off-site urgent care or hospital transfers (local EMS response times average 25–30 minutes, emphasizing the need for strong initial triage).

Active, unencumbered RN or LPN license in good standing.

Minimum of 4 years of post-licensure professional nursing experience.

At least 3 years of clinical experience working with pediatric or adolescent populations (ages 6–17).

Comfort demonstrating and explaining basic first-aid procedures to young adult camp staff.
