Nursing Staff
What better place to share your nursing skills than in the White Mountains of New Hampshire?
In this majestic setting our camp nurses play an essential role in the care and safety of our
whole camp: campers and staff alike.
Our five-person team of professionally licensed nurses works with our full time in-residence doctor.
Your work schedule allows plenty of flexibility, allowing you the comfort and enjoyment of Walt
Whitman's facilities. Imagine wrapping up your shift with a refreshing swim in our lake or pool
or reading a book while enjoying the afternoon sun. Accommodations for our nursing staff provide
some much needed privacy, as you will have a private room and a screened in porch.
Our health center bustles with the daily bumps and bruises accumulated by kids having fun, along
with treating other common ailments. Camp Walt Whitman's nurses share the shift responsibilities
here in the health center. Nurses are also responsible for the daily distribution of medication.
Along with these responsibilities, our nurses must constantly update charts, medical logs, camp
books and supply inventory in the health center. Our nurses arrange appointments at the top-notch
regional teaching hospital along with dentist visits and other health related appointments.
Communication with the parents of children under your care is essential.
Kitchen Staff
Our kitchen support staff are crucial members of the Walt Whitman family, providing essential services
respected by everyone in our community. The kitchen and dining areas bustle with energy as we serve
three meals a day to over 600 people. Working in the White Mountains of New Hampshire affords all
staff members a terrific natural setting and all staff members are encouraged to use camp's facilities
in their off time.
Three key areas come together to form our whole kitchen support staff, they include kitchen prep,
dish room and dining room service.
Kitchen Prep
Our kitchen prep crew assists our camp chefs in preparing the delicious meals served
each day. Those who are involved in the kitchen prep work must have experience in food preparation
including salads, vegetables, soups, etc.
Dish Room
Our dish room team completes each meal, providing the needed skills to wash each meal's
dishes, pots and pans.
Dining Room Services
For those working in our dining room, the responsibility of setting up and
cleaning up for meals rests in your hands. This includes supervision of our salad and buffet bars,
sweeping and mopping the floors and adding to general dining enjoyment.
CK Cook
Within our spacious staff lounge, Camp Walt Whitman houses a full kitchen. Staff gather here in the
evenings to watch movies and dine on burgers, chicken sandwiches, chips, yogurt and fruit, along with
specialty recipes created by our CK cook. Our kitchen is open form 9:00 pm till 11:30 pm. Along with
cooking, we expect our CK cook to maintain a clean kitchen, as well as the staff lounge.
Programming
Our programming office is the nerve center of Camp Walt Whitman, scheduling for our 385 campers is done here.
We also create our daily newsletter, the Walt Street Journal, which is a delight for the campers. They can't
wait to pour over it at lunch. All of our programming work is done with Microsoft Excel, FileMaker Pro,
Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop.
