PHysicians Program
Summer Camp Doctor — Each week over 300 high school kids load up and head out for the best week of their lives. To provide the best possible care, we need physicians to help us meet the medical needs of the campers and summer volunteers at camp. All camp doctors and their families stay at camp during the week of service at no cost.
School Season Opportunities — We are also in need of medical providers for camps during the school season months at Carolina Point. These camps are shorter (usually over a weekend), quieter and more relaxing than summer camping. Contact us if you are interested in this opportunity.

- Week 2: May 31 – June 6

To Apply:
First, check availability. Then complete a Camp Medical Professionals Application.
The week will be more like a mission trip than a vacation. The camp physician’s primary role is to provide timely triage assessment of guests who require medical care for an injury or an illness during their week at camp. They direct the course of action in the event of an emergency and decide which patients need to be transferred to the local clinic or hospital. Carolina Point has an EMT or Paramedic serving each week as well. Along with the doctor, the EMT/Paramedic staffs the camp infirmary for one half hour after each meal to care for minor injuries, colds, sore throats, etc. The physician is on call 24/7 for any emergencies. The physician must also adequately document the medical record to reflect the care that has been given. At no time should any physician practice medicine that falls outside of their medical license and level of experience and training.
Your spouse and children, ages 17 and younger, are invited to share the week with you. Whether it’s enjoying meals together, swimming in the pool, or watching Young Life summer camp in action — you are sure to have a great time. Time and space permitting, your family will have an opportunity to experience the many activities around camp.
YoungLives

Wrangler program
During the school season, Carolina Point relies heavily on volunteers to help keep camp running. We call these volunteers wranglers. Our wranglers are college-aged and older folks from different schools and communities that partner together to be a living presentation of the gospel. Wranglers have the opportunity to interact with guests as they work in our rides and retail programs.
