Job Description

Live, Work, and Play with Children in Addington Highlands This Summer! Camp Gesher – a co-ed children’s overnight summer camp located in eastern Ontario not far from Bon Echo Park. (1 hour from Belleville)

Our medical team consists of a Head Nurse and an Assistant Nurse (Student). Nurses work (and play) together to keep our community healthy so campers can learn and grow in our beautiful wilderness setting. Camp nursing is health-oriented, not illness-oriented. This is an ideal post for RNs who would like to bring their children to summer camp… or not.

Registered Nurses for either one of our month-long sessions (June 23-July 28 or July 28-August 20) or the full summer (June 23-August 20).
