Nurse Expectations
All communities are contractually obligated to always have at least one registered nurse (RN) or licensed practical nurse (LPN) on-site when campers are present. Such nurses should be properly credentialed and qualified. The nurse(s) may be volunteers or someone paid by the host community. The nurses must be covered under malpractice insurance. Failure to have a licensed, credentialed, and insured nurse on site at all times is means to reconsider future partnerships with the Host community. Camper safety is essential to the mission of camp and without a nurse, we put campers in jeopardy. The nurses will be provided with pertinent medical information for campers, an incident log, and medicine cards. The host church/community is responsible for providing all medical supplies for the camp week. If you do not already have a first aid kit ready for camp, please refer to the list from the Camp Nurse Association as a resource.
