Volunteer Nurse at Camp Namanu

Become a quintessential part of our amazing healthcare team at Camp Namanu! We are seeking volunteer nurses, professionals certified in CPR and first aid, and aspiring healthcare individuals.

At Camp Fire Columbia, we believe in the power of connection—connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world. For over a hundred years, our programs have helped young people discover their spark, build meaningful relationships, and develop a profound sense of stewardship for the environment. Indeed, each year on the banks of the Sandy River, Camp Namanu provides over 3,000 young people space to explore new skills, to build strong relationships, and to connect with both their own power and the power of nature ​ Overnight Camp at Namanu is structured around intentional programming that forges connections between youth and the natural environment, offers opportunities for experiential learning, and is rooted in developmental activities that lead to positive youth development outcomes.

Volunteers will help the Health and Wellness Center from Sunday through Friday serving campers and staff. As a volunteer, you will help our health center administer medication, and will be available in the case of medical emergencies.

Volunteers will receive the equivalent of $1,050 which can be used as rental credit for our Namanu campground, or to fund a free week of camp for your child, or this can be donated back to Namanu in order to send another kid to camp on your behalf.

Our session dates are: June 28-July 3, July 5-10, July 12-17, July 19-24, August 2-7, August 9-14, Auguest 16-21. Our volunteers are asked to be available for one week, though we can be flexible if volunteers are only available for a partial week.
