In this leadership role, you’ll help shape the daily experience of campers and staff while setting the tone for a positive, collaborative summer. Before camp begins, you’ll connect with your team, build relationships, and help lead training that prepares counselors for success.

Throughout the summer, you’ll provide hands-on supervision, mentorship, and feedback to bunk counselors, supporting their growth and helping them navigate challenges as they arise. You’ll be a consistent presence in bunks and around camp—ensuring campers feel supported, included, and engaged while proactively addressing social, emotional, and behavioral needs.

You’ll guide counselors in using positive behavior support strategies and step in when more complex situations require leadership, always responding with fairness, consistency, and care. You’ll partner with parents and families through clear, thoughtful communication—sharing updates, addressing concerns, and celebrating camper milestones.

You’ll model respect and inclusion, foster healthy relationships, and embrace teachable moments that help campers and staff grow. You’ll contribute to staff development through ongoing feedback and evaluations, collaborate with camp leadership on daily programming and special events, and help keep camp running smoothly by supporting bunk routines, evening programs, and overall camp operations. As a trusted communicator, you’ll keep the Director informed and help resolve issues with professionalism and discretion.

This is a hands-on leadership opportunity where your presence, mentorship, and judgment directly shape the camp experience. You’ll build skills in coaching, team leadership, behavior support, and youth development, while helping create a summer rooted in growth, connection, and community, alongside a passionate and collaborative leadership team.

You’ll serve as a champion of wellness throughout the camp community by administering daily medications, monitoring chronic conditions, and responding confidently to health emergencies when they arise. Accurate and timely medical documentation is a key part of this role, and you’ll maintain up-to-date health records in accordance with American Camp Association (ACA) standards.

Working closely with fellow nurses, you’ll help ensure 24/7 Health Center coverage on a rotating schedule, so campers and staff always have access to care and support. You’ll also take part in opening and closing the Health Center, organizing supplies, managing inventory, and making sure the space is fully prepared for the start of camp and properly closed at the end of the season.

Beyond clinical care, you’ll play an important educational role by teaching campers and staff about hygiene, safety, and healthy habits, helping to build a culture of wellness across camp. You’ll partner closely with parents as well, communicating proactively about camper health needs, medications, and any medical concerns to ensure families feel informed, reassured, and supported.

You’ll respond to health calls and emergencies by following established camp protocols, coordinate appointments with local medical providers when needed, manage first aid kits across camp, and help bridge the gap between basic care and emergency response. As with all roles at camp, flexibility is essential—you’ll be ready to step in wherever your skills and experience are needed to help camp run safely and smoothly.
