Camp is calling. This isn't just a summer job, it's a mission.
Spend your summer caring for a community of campers and staff. As a Health Services Associate, you'll run daily medical care, manage medications, respond to injuries and illness, and be the person families trust with their kid's wellbeing while they're here.

- Manage camper and staff medications, including intake, storage, and administration
- Provide first aid and assess illness and injuries, referring to a physician as needed
- Maintain detailed health records and treatment logs
- Communicate with camper families regarding medical concerns and treatment
- Coordinate with local physicians, pharmacies, and hospitals
- Transport patients to clinics or emergency rooms when needed
- Monitor and manage community health needs across camp
- Maintain a fully stocked infirmary and first aid kits camp-wide
- Offer emotional and spiritual support through prayer when appropriate

What We're Looking For
- A professing Christian with a personal faith
- One of the following current Wisconsin licenses or certifications: physician, physician assistant, RN, LPN, state-licensed or state-certified EMT, paramedic, or First Responder; or sophomore-level or higher nursing student working under RN supervision

Why This Role Matters
You'll be the one a homesick nine-year-old comes to at 2 a.m. You'll be who a camper sees after they come off the challenge course with a scraped knee, and the person who makes sure the kid with a daily medication never misses a dose or feels singled out for needing one. For a lot of campers, you're the closest thing to home while they're here. That's a summer worth having.
Additional Requirements
- Must be 21 years of age or older
- Employment is contingent on background and reference checks
