Summer Camp Nurse 2026
About The Position
College Settlement Camp is seeking a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to join our experienced and supportive camp health team for the summer season. This is a rewarding opportunity to step into a role that is very similar to school nursing — focused on basic first aid, daily medication administration, and routine health support — in a joyful, outdoor camp setting. We are looking to mostly fill our 11pm-7am shifts, although we do have 7a-3p and 3p-11p slots available also. We are hiring for both day positions and residential (live-in) positions. Camp nursing is steady, purposeful, and people-centered. Most days involve routine care: administering scheduled medications, managing minor injuries, supporting campers with health needs, and keeping clear, organized records. You’ll work as part of a strong medical team, including other nurses, nurse assistants, and camp leadership. Our health team plays a vital role in helping campers feel safe, supported, and ready to enjoy their day — whether that means sports, crafts, swimming, biking, or special camp events. This position is ideal for nurses who enjoy working with children, appreciate structure and routine, and want a summer role that is low-acuity, collaborative, and deeply meaningful.
