Happy National Nurses Day to the incredible nurses of Camp Sweet Escape 💙

Today we celebrate and thank the dedicated nurses who help make camp possible each and every year. Your compassion, patience, knowledge, and unwavering care mean the world to our campers and families. From late-night blood sugar checks and carb counting to comforting homesick campers and jumping into every camp activity with a smile. You are truly the heart of camp medical care.

Because of you, our campers are able to experience independence, adventure, friendship, and unforgettable memories in a safe and supportive environment. Your impact goes far beyond medicine; you help build confidence, courage, and joy.

Thank you for the long hours, the big hearts, and the countless ways you care for our camp family. We are endlessly grateful for each of you. 💙
