Hello! We are a residential summer camp in beautiful Northern Michigan, looking for a nurse (RN or LPN) to staff our Wellness Center for two weeks, July 8-July 22.

The Camp Nurse lives on-site and oversees "sick call" after breakfast and after dinner. He or she typically remains on-camp and on-call during the day for any issues that require the atttention of a medical professional.

The Camp Nurse is assisted by three college-age Camp Health Officers, and the Wellness Director, who manages 1) the daily functioning of the Wellness Center, 2) the CHOs, concurrent with other on-camp responsibilities.

The Wellness Director and CHOs oversee medication management at camp, and minor ailments and accidents. Camp Walden partners with CampMeds to provide pre-packaged daily medications for distribution at camp. None of the CHOs nor Wellness Director are medical professionals but have certifications in basic first aid, blood-borne pathogens and AED use, as well as "best practices" training.

The Camp Nurse apartment, inside the Wellness Center, includes a queen-size bed, private bathroom/shower, sitting area with love seat, microwave and mini-frig, and private rear entrance.

The position includes significant daily time-off as well as a day off (10a.m. to 6 p.m.) during the two weeks. The Nurse is always on-duty from 8:30-10a.m. and from 6:45-8:15 p.m.

The Camp Nurse salary starts at $1,500 for two weeks, including room and board as well as access to camp facilities and programs. This is a wonderful opportunity for a parent whose child/children who would like to "try out" the camp experience! We can convert the sitting area into a sleeping area with cot or bunkbed.

A little about us...
Walden celebrates its 58th summer this season. We are and always have been a family-owned and run camp serving children ages 7-16. Our season is seven weeks, June 25-August 12, during which our campers can participate in more than 50 activities: horseback riding, water and land sports, visual and performing arts, media and science, etc. Proudly certified by the American Camp Association, Walden maintains a reputation as an outstanding summer program that guides children to learn more about themselves, hone social and activity skills, and to grow their empathy and resilience. 

Traditionally, doctors (MDs and DOs) have staffed our Wellness Center (full disclosure: We still call it the Infirmary despite the term being woefully out-of-date). However, we have had increased difficulty the past few years finding and scheduling volunteer camp doctors. Thus the open two weeks in our First Session. There is a possibility of the Camp Nurse position developing into a longer job for future summers.
