Well I guess it's that time of year...past that time most likely. Who's working where?

I'm Alex, I'm an LPN here in Pa. I will be returning to Indian Head Camp in Honesdale Pa for my 6th season.

I'm Jill and I'm returning for my 10th summer at Camp Bryn Mawr, also in Honesdale. I cannot believe I've been doing this for a decade. Wow.

Finishing your degree? Negaotions didn't go well, or "creative differences" with management? If you don't mind me asking.

Just plain tired and want to be awakened by cheerful birds and not reveille! I gave camp 100% and I don't have anything left. "It's you not me" I did not have the same spirit going into the last season which made me miserable. No differences or negotiations. If I am going to do a job I want to do it with my whole heart and it wasn't there anymore. I do want to support the camp nurse specialty. Not much chatter here this year, worries me that staffing may be down.

Sharon from Camp Jefferson summer day camp in Jefferson Township, New Jersey. This will be my 13th year and the 13th year of the camp. I work with an EMT that is wonderful.We have over 300 kids each week and a total of 650 kids registered. Looking forward to camp, would love to have a substitute nurse to cover days when we need an extra nurse for trips and our vacations.

I'm nearby, a school nurse and possibly interested in subbing. Can you PM me with details?

Sorry Windchaser22 but I can't PM you. I don't have enough posts. You can call Camp Jefferson at 973-663-8404. Talk to Terri McCarney.

I admire your self awareness. I worry I'm falling into the "this year will be different" trap. So many things have changed in my life and Inthink that this year will be the pivot if camp is right for this season of my life.
