Each summer brings thousands of camps and their directors the challenge of maintaining health care and managing safety. Although the professionals who offer their services as nurses often bring years of experience with them, the closed community of a camp is fraught with its own set of unique difficulties. From establishing the health centre and orienting staff to diagnosing injury and illness and managing communicable disease, this quick and practical reference enables any health-care professional to arrive at camp and hit the ground running.

Camp Nursing,

This review is from: The Basics of Camp Nursing (Paperback)
This summer I volunteered to be the camp nurse for our church camp. One week and one hundred children plus staff. Definitly out of my comfort zone.
I searched the internet and found that there is an association for camp nurse and this book. I ordered it with a basic first aid book. It gave me a good base and I survived a busy but enjoyable week. I'm looking forward to volunteering again next year.

This review is from: The Basics of Camp Nursing (Second Edition) (Paperback)
Good tips and practice information, somewhat simplistic on certain issues, but it covers a broad range of types of summer camps. Good recepies in the back, some organization things I felt could have been better, but using the index helped. I highly recommend this book for those who are brand new to Camp Nursing like I was. It gives you somewhere to start.
