Since that first summer, thousands of children and teens have participated in our nature-based summer camp and after-school programs in New York and New Jersey.

They are responsible for implementing the camp health care plan, responding to urgent and non-urgent medical needs, managing camper medications, and providing health and wellness education and guidance to children and staff members.
