Medical Volunteers

Medical Safety at Camp

At Camp Quality, the well-being of our campers is our number one priority. In order to ensure the highest level of care, each camp has a designated Health Care Team to meet the individualized needs of each of our campers. This team also works in contact with the local hospital, which is never more than one hour away from the camp. Our Health Care Teams are devoted to the physical, emotional, and mental health of our campers – they are committed to ensuring a safe and fun-filled camp experience. We maintain a 15:1 ratio of campers to medical professionals.

Nursing Students

We encourage nursing students to apply for non-medical positions at camp, as we only accept up to one nursing student per session. As a nursing student volunteer, your role would include assisting with basic health tasks under the supervision of our Medical Coordinator, providing first aid support, and helping maintain a safe environment for campers. Program volunteer roles offer great opportunities to engage with campers and gain valuable experience in a supportive environment. We look forward to having you join us!​

​

Physicians

Physicians at camp will support the healthcare team by providing consultations and assisting with daily health operations. They are encouraged to enjoy camp activities and programming while ensuring the health and safety of campers.
