In just one week, earn your CPR/First Aid Certification and build the foundation to become a future lifeguard through the American Red Cross (ARC) Junior Lifeguarding course. This program is designed for ages 11-14 to teach essential rescue skills, build confidence, and strengthen stamina—no need to master every technique perfectly. Over approximately 30 hours of training, participants will complete 15 engaging lessons that blend dry-land instruction with in-water practice, plus a 45-minute pre-course session. Across two weeks of combined lifeguarding instruction, swim practices, outdoor adventures, and indoor fitness activities, students gain practical skills, leadership experience, and the confidence to keep themselves and others safe around water. This camp provides hands-on training in water rescue techniques, emergency response, CPR, first aid, and professional lifeguarding skills. Participants will learn victim recognition, rescue approaches, spinal injury management, and teamwork in emergency situations, all while building physical fitness and water confidence.
