To kick off camp's 10th anniversary, each month we'll be highlighting a Flying Horse Farms core value. The core values guide us and the work we do, and bring the camp community together. This month is Campers First! Every decision we make has campers' best interests at heart. It's that simple.

We sat down with Nurse Christy, FHF's Director of Wellness, to interview her about the Camp Nurse position. Keep reading to learn more! 👇

Q: How is this job different from a typical nursing job?
A: The biggest difference is that you get to practice medicine in a nontraditional setting- and trade your scrubs for a tutu! You will see a wide variety of diagnoses, learn different ways to treat campers (patients), and more. You make magic happen so our campers can grow and have a childhood that they may have missed out on due to their illness.

Q: What does a day in camp and out of camp look like?
A: It’s hard to say exactly what a day in camp looks like because every day is different! There will always be a few staples like checking in with campers, hearing about their accomplishments and wins for the day, but also administering medication and general first aid. When not directly working in camp, the role is more administrative but still offers variety every day. From recruiting campers and volunteers, to reviewing policies and writing procedures, the days will always be a new adventure!

Q: What are 3 traits you need to be successful in this role?
A: Motivation - Many times there will be an option to work from home, and the ability to motivate yourself to get work done is important. Playfulness - When we are in camp session, having fun with campers is a must. When campers are in the hospital and not feeling their best, it’s the nurses and doctors that have to start IV’s and give medication, so being playful at camp lets them see another side to us. And, creativity - We come up with new and creative ways to practice medicine at camp. Creativity and seeing things from a different perspective will be helpful.

Q: When are you hoping to have the camp nurse start?
A: We are looking to hire the right person for this position- when they come along we would like to hire them right away!
