Summer Camp Nurse | Camp of the Hills

Thank you for your interest in serving deserving children from low income communities at Camp of the Hills. Here, our summer staff truly acts as the hands and feet of Christ in our efforts to reveal God's love to each camper. Our desire is to love God’s children by noticing and praising the godly attributes they possess and devoting our time and attention to encouraging them in every moment. Through sacrifice for the sake of the campers we hope to live out God’s command to carry each other’s burdens and build each other up. Camp of the Hills brings together a unique and diverse group of believers, all of whom are sacrificing their summers to unite for a common mission. The culture of this place builds community among the staff that will continue after the summer and beyond camp grounds. You will find being a part of what God is doing here a rewarding experience.

Our nurses (oftentimes students working towards becoming an RN) are a crucial part of our summer staff. Under direction from Cara Thames, a registered nurse who lives on property, our nurses take care of around 100 campers, 60 summer staff, and dozens of volunteers on a weekly basis. This includes administering medications, helping with sick kids/adults, and tending to the scrapes and bruises that come with an outdoor camp. Nurses are provided sleeping quarters for the summer, and meals are provided from Monday through Saturday morning.
