For campers that want to spend most of their day at the pool, the Junior Lifeguards group offers just that. In accordance with American Red Cross guidelines, campers will receive instruction in a variety of water safety techniques and skills, as well as offering them the opportunity to shadow lifeguards on duty. The program will introduce campers to lifesaving skills, and is designed to prepare them for a full lifeguarding course at age 15. As part of the course, campers will be assessed with a written and practical exam conducted by certified American Red Cross instructors.
