Hunterdon Medical Center
Family Medicine Residency Program

For over 40 years, family medicine residents from Hunterdon Medical Center have spent part of their third and final year at Camp Nejeda. While gaining valuable insights into practical diabetes management, these doctors ably handle any aches and pains that might arise during the summer. We are proud to continue this historic relationship, which has enhanced not only the medical care at Camp Nejeda, but also the understanding of what it's like to live with type 1 diabetes for every graduate of Hunterdon Medical Center's Family Medicine Residency program.

Camp Nejeda's Health Center is staffed by licensed nurses and physicians, 24 hours a day. The complete medical team is comprised of registered nurses, each of whom is assigned to a camper cabin, a volunteer pediatric endocrinologist, a family medicine resident, a dietician and a nursing student/Health Center assistant.

To join the ranks of our volunteer or paid staff, print the Staff-Volunteer Application and return it to the Camp Nejeda Foundation office. Everyone must complete the first two pages. Background, certification and license checks are run on ALL staff and volunteers who work on the grounds during camp programs.  

PLEASE NOTE: Health Center Staff bringing children (with or without diabetes) with them to camp must also complete a registration form and health forms for their child.
