Camp nurses are an integral part of the overall camp experience. They are encouraged to participate in all activities and allow the campers to know them as individuals. The nursing volunteer experience is a coveted one with many nurses returning year after year, giving up vacation time to enjoy this experience.
Nurses are housed in donated houses on the island. This allows for time away from camp, a chance to enjoy the island, take a breath, and relax. Transportation to houses is gladly provided when shifts change.
Camp Safe Haven offers:
- FLEXIBLE 12 hour shift Scheduling,
- WonderfulLodging in some of the islands premier properties, donated for our exclusive use for nurses staying over night,

Licensing.
To volunteer as a nurse at August camp, nurses are required to have either a current license in North Carolina or to be from a state that is reciprocal. There may also be a temp license available. Safe Haven can pass along information on this process upon your request.
STUDENT NURSES ARE WELCOMED
but can not dispense medications.
There are a limited number of spaces for student nurses in order to maintain our ratio.
Primary responsibilities of nurses at camp
Unlike most camp which may have one nurse on duty for the entire camp program, Safe Haven believes that more hands make lighter work for everyone. This is why we invite so many nurses to join us for the camp week. We have what we believe is the highest ratio of nurses to campers in the field. This high ratio not only allows for greater sensitivity of care, but also allows for nurses to have quality time with campers both within the setting of the nurses station, and in activities they participate in with the kids. We believe that campers should have the pleasure of spending time with our nurses in a setting that allows nurses to relax into the experience.
