PUNXSUTAWNEY – The Pennsylvania State Police, Troop C, Camp Cadet Program is currently seeking a volunteer nurse or paramedic to compliment the camp staff this summer.
Camp staff members reside on campus throughout the week of the camp and all meals and single occupant lodging accommodations are provided.
