Provider/Physician
ADMINISTERING THE
HEALING POWER OF JOY.
Our incredible provider volunteers are essential to keeping Roundup River Ranch safe, healthy, and full of joy. Providers staff The Depot, our onsite medical facility, and coordinate with our full-time medical team to cover overnight on-call shifts.
When not at The Depot, providers:
- Join in cabin activities and camper fun
- Provide medical coverage at higher-risk program areas
- Support cabin nurses with camper care
- Occasionally take part in camp traditions – think tutus, dancing, and lots of smiles
We ask that providers commit to an entire session, though there is flexibility to split sessions with another provider.
Note: NPs interested in serving as cabin nurses should apply through the Cabin Nurse Application.

New Volunteer Immunization Records Needed:
Our primary concern is to ensure that you and our campers have a healthy and fun camp experience. Due to our camper’s compromised immune systems, it is very important that all staff and volunteers are in compliance with our immunization requirements.
Records of the following immunizations are required for the first year of volunteering:
- Hepatitis A: Required for all Kitchen Staff/Volunteers and recommended for all. Kitchen Staff/Volunteers must have a minimum of one dose one month prior to attending camp.
- Hepatitis B: There is small, but real risk of contracting Hep. B if not vaccinated. If you do not receive this vaccine, you must sign the Hepatitis B waiver within the Health History Form.
- Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR): Anyone born in 1957 or later is required to provide documentation of two MMR vaccines or have a titer drawn for MMR antibodies. This immunization must be received at least 4 weeks prior to arriving at camp (2 dates of vaccine required).
- Tetanus/Pertussis (Td/TdaP): Must be current and updated within 10 years of last dose.
- Varicella (Chicken Pox): Chicken Pox Illness Date (to be listed in your health history form) OR Two doses of Varicella Vaccine (must receive 8 weeks prior to arriving at camp)
Background Check & Fingerprinting explained:
Due to Colorado childcare licensing & ACA accreditation requirements, our staff and volunteers complete a series of 3 background checks prior to their participation in our program. The background checks consist of:
- The CDEC Trails database background check searching specific history of child abuse and neglect
- A fingerprint-based background check that searches criminal history in the Colorado bureau of Investigation database and the Federal Bureau of Investigation database
- An annual national criminal background check (processed via CheckR; campbackgroundcheck.com for volunteers)
