Calling all Medical Professionals!
The Council needs registered Camp Medical Officers to satisfy new NCAP standards
The updated National Camp Accreditation Program’s National Camp Standards now require a Camp Medical Officer at all short-term camp programs. What is a short-term camp? District camporees, Klondike Derby, OA events, or any council-organized overnight camping programs, whether one-time or continuing, that is one, two or three nights in length.
If you are one of these professional, please consider volunteering to be a registered Camp Medical Officer:
- physician
- physician assistant (PA)
- nurse
- nurse practitioner
- paramedic
- emergency medical technician (basic or advanced)
- emergency medical responder
Join the Camp Medical Officer corps by emailing Benjamin Strong, member of the Connecticut Yankee Council Enterprise Risk Management Committee at benjamin.m.strong@gmail.com for more information. We look forward to having you join our team!
