Description
Camp Timanous seeks an enthusiastic member of its nursing team to spend an amazing summer with a great group of campers and counselors on a beautiful lake in Southern Maine, 26 miles from Portland. With 130 campers and 60 staff, Timanous is a very welcoming and supportive community. When people visit Timanous, their number one comment is how nice the campers and staff are. It truly is a special place which is confirmed by our very high rate of return of both staff and campers (we are full for the upcoming summer).
Timanous is a traditional summer camp for boys ages 7-15 with a healthy population. The health center is staffed with three full time nurses ensuring plenty of time for rest and relaxation. Our current nurses are returning for their 26th and 15th summers, both coming to Timanous as new graduates. Health Staff work together and are responsible for all aspects of the camp’s health and wellness program.
This position is seasonal and nurses work for 8 weeks from approximately June 18 through August 14. Room and board is provided. The ideal candidate will have residential camp experience, school nursing experience, or other experience working with children ages 7-15. The Camp Nurse will be one of three nurses on staff and will rotate duties, including overnight duty, with the other nurses.
Timanous will consider applicants a variety of degrees, including PA, RN, LPN. Canditates who are Emergency Medical Technicians, Wilderness First Responders, and NATABOC certificates may also apply.
The choice to work at Camp Timanous is one which will be rewarding, exciting, and sometimes challenging but the return rate of staff should tell you that this is a unique place to work and we are confident you would have an amazing experience.
