Support Roundup River Ranch camp programs at our camp location in Gypsum, Colorado. Join our team in various positions: Volunteer Nurse or Provider, Camp Counselor, or Resident Life Assistant! Roundup River Ranch offers children with life-altering diagnoses, and their families, opportunities to embrace joy, create connection, foster independence, and build hope through free, medically-supported camp programs. Come to camp to have the best day ever, every day!

Opportunities Include:

Cabin Counselor: The traditional "camp counselor" role! Provide direct care of campers including looking after their daytime and nighttime needs while living in the cabin alongside campers and a team of peers; accompany and encourage campers through their schedule of activities; actively facilitate friendships between campers; provide behavioral support; PLUS share in laughter, giggles, dancing, singing and s’mores over the campfire! Volunteers in this role have the most interaction with our campers. This position requires long, demanding hours but is a life-changing and rewarding experience.

Residential Life Assistant: The do-it-all, magic-makers of camp. This position allows you to get a taste of several aspects of camp by supporting cabin life, kitchen services, and more! You’ll provide the daily cleaning necessary to help keep our campers medically safe. Tasks include general cleaning and organization, setting up the cookhouse for meals, and setting water coolers out for the kids. Volunteers in this role can be housed in the Staff Lodge or the Cabins depending on interest and availability. And when the daily tasks are completed, you can hop into programming and join the kiddos in the fun with the power of parallel play!

Cabin Nurse: These Rockstars provide routine and emergent nursing care for campers, and they prepare and administer medications for campers. Cabin nurses provide routine procedures for each camper, including the care of internal and external central lines, dressing changes, G-Tube and other continuous/bolus feeds, urinary catheters, etc. Nurses live in the cabin with campers. When not performing medical duties, our goal is for the medical team to have fun and spend time with the campers!

Physician/Provider: These world-class medical providers leave their lab coats and scrubs behind and swap them for a tutu! Physician/Providers work with the camp team to assure safety and fun. They work with the medical team to provide routine medical care, and provide evaluation and treatment of acute medical conditions to campers, staff and volunteers. This may include dressing changes, central line flushes, g-tube feeds and other treatments, plus various levels of first-aid care to specific disease related complications (fever, neutropenia, wheezing, pain, etc.). When not performing medical duties, our goal is for the medical team to have fun and spend time with the campers!
