CAMP NURSE

The weekly Camp Nurse plays a critical role in the safety and success of the summer camp program

 

Chestnut Ridge’s summer camp program wouldn’t be complete without our wonderful volunteer nurses. Each year, we seek out licensed registered nurses (or doctors and nurse practitioners) who are willing to volunteer as the Camp Nurse for a one week period.

We Provide:

  • Food and Lodging​

  • Camp Scholarships for up to 2 of your children, excluding premium camps. For premium camps you are responsible for paying the premium price difference.
