Summer Camp Nursing Assistant

Camp Shane is a residential summer camp that specializes in weight loss for children, teens and young adults. We provide all the fun of a traditional summer camp with the benefits of nutrition education, healthy cooking classes and physical fitness activities.
We are seeking a junior or senior level nursing student to assist our licensed Camp Nurse in our camp health center. We provide living accommodations, all meals, as well a stipend. This position can be used to complete internship hours if needed.
Overview
At specified times; a camper not feeling well may come to the Health Center to be examined by a nurse. Our nurses make the preliminary diagnosis and then either treat the camper, or refer the camper to the doctor. We are fortunate to have several physicians, an urgent care facility and a hospital near our camp.

Nurse Aide Responsibilities

The nurse’s aide will assist our camp nurse in the busy day-to-day operations of the Health Center. Responsibilities include appropriately diagnosing campers who don’t feel well, dispensing medication, maintaining paperwork, looking after campers admitted to the Health Center, keeping the facility organized and clean, communicating with parents and pharmacies, as well as arranging visits to outside physicians, clinics, etc. 
Camp Counselor Responsibilities
Camp counseling is challenging yet rewarding. It requires dedication, long hours and at times a lack of privacy, as you will be living in a cabin with campers. You must be authoritative, but approachable while being responsible for supervising campers during activities and throughout the day. You will have a strong impact on your campers and will develop friendships with people from all over the world.
Off Duty
You are welcome to join in any camp activities during your time off. We have about 50 students who work as counselors from which we hope you build many friendships. Camp is an active, friendly, beautiful place.
