I have a co-Ed camp in Honesdale pa who is also seeking nurses. 7 week program 10 week contracts. I have been there 5 years, love it.
seriously we are having a really rough time finding nurses. This seems to be a system wide issue. At the ACN conference every camp director was looking HARD for nurses.
Serious shortage of nurses this summer. A few years ago hospitals had a hiring freeze in many areas, so nurses were looking for work anywhere. Not so this year, they are hiring again and we are feeling it!
If you need endorsement/reciprocal license in another state most camps will reimburse any fees associated with it.
I recommend recruiting nurse friends, school nurses, nurse practioners students (who may have Summer's free and are already RN's) or nursing faculty who also have Summer's free. Not only is it hard to find nurses, but for 7 or 8 weeks it is even harder. For the past 5 years I have worked at my camp for 10 weeks (it's 12 hours from home) and my husband is tired of me being gone so long. I'm only doing 6 weeks this summer and it's killing me to not stay the last 4 weeks, and they don't have anyone to replace me yet. I should just kick my husband to the curb, huh? Hah!
Good luck!

Hi! My all-girl, ACA-accredited camp is in need of a nurse, it's 7 weeks in Milford County, PA. This will be my 4th year there, small camp, great people. Free tuition for your children, boys can go to a brother camp nearby. Anybody interested?
