· First Aid
- Provide first aid under the supervision of a registered RN to campers and staff members.
- Transport and advocate for campers needing offsite medical care.
· Medical Paperwork
- Organize and review camper and staff medical forms and supplies.

· Guardianship of the Health Care Center

All medical assistants would be responsible for attending training in early June to receive First Aid, CPR and Medical Technician certifications. They would also participate in a week of staff training, followed by eight weeks of camp. The commitment is typically 10-11 weeks from early June-mid August.
Our previous Medical Assistants have said:
"Being a MA gave me confidence to be a better nurse. It made me more responsible, improved time management, and I learned how to stay calm when things are going fast. All of needed skills when pursuing nursing."
