Job Description
The Abington Club Summer Kids Camp is a 10 week traditional day camp for ages 3-12. Our camp nurses are responsible for the care and supervision of all medical services. This care includes looking after ill or injured campers or staff, administering medication, communication with parents and counselors, organization of medical information, medications and first-aid kits, as well as keeping records of camper visits.
A summer camp nurse will work directly with camp participants to assist with injuries and illnesses, and should be ready to deal with anything from a bee sting to a broken ankle. For individuals looking for seasonal work that takes advantage of their nursing qualifications, a summer camp nurse could be a great option.
