Week-long Overnight Staff

We have two medical professionals who live at camp for each session in one of our two health centers.

The medical staff work out of the Health Center and handle first aid incidents, distribution of medications, record keeping, and health center visits – when campers and counselors can see them about stomachaches, headaches, bug bites, colds, etc. You’ll see plenty of campers and staff for other reasons too, whether it being a comfort to a child experiencing homesickness, counselors taking some time to cool off from the heat of the summer, or visitors who are just looking for some gatorade and a popsicle.

Each health center has a nurses quarters attached with a private bedroom with air conditioning and bathroom .  All of your meals are included during your week and are served out of the dining hall.

You’ll have the support of the camp administrative team throughout the week.  Camp Ernst is also lucky to have Dr. Cunha of Pediatric Associates of Northern Kentucky as our on call medical professional. Dr. Cunha is available for calls and texts during the summer to consult on camper and staff needs.

Registration Staff

At the start of every session, we have a team of medical staff who help us with our Sunday check-in process.
