What are we looking for in a Program Volunteer?

What are we looking for in a Medical Volunteer? 

Each camp session is staffed with a team of compassionate volunteer medical staff with experience caring for the camper conditions and families we serve. Camp docs and nurses provide medical support and supervision as well as Band-Aids and bug spray when needed. Volunteering to do your day or night job has never been this much fun!
