Camp Descriptions


Please review attached Application and Parent Handbook for full program details.


Junior Lifeguard Camp: (Sessions 1-8) The City of Flagler Beach Junior Lifeguard Camp is open to students ages of six to fifteen. It is a traditional Junior Lifeguard Camp Program which stresses ocean safety, physical fitness, teamwork, and basic Junior Lifeguard competition skills. Students will learn skills in CPR, First Aid, basic ocean rescue, ocean safety, surfing, and beach competition events. Camp activities may be quite strenuous which is why a doctor’s signature is required attesting to the physical health of all participants.

Th Junior Lifeguard Camp involves deep water swimming activities conducted in a lifeguard supervised environment.  In order to participate in such activities all prospective students must demonstrate the minimum skills required to ensure their safety. These skills include (1) swimming 100 meters in deep water without stopping, (2) treading in deep water for two minutes, and (3) retrieving a submerged object from a depth of 5 feet. Skill testing may be done at any one of the following dates: 

  • Saturday, May 30       8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M.     Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast
  • Saturday, June 6         8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M.     Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast
  • Saturday, June 13       8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M.     Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast
  • Saturday, June 20       8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M.     Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast
  • Saturday, June 27       8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M.     Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast

Please understand that if a child is unable to physically complete all phases of testing, he or she may still participate in BEACH CAMP, this is a less rigorous camp that focuses on game-based activity. When surf conditions are favorable, students will have the opportunity to practice swimming skills in a controlled shallow water environment. This is done for the safety of the child, as well as the success of the program. Exceptions to normal program hours for special events will be announced.

Enrollment

Enrollment in the Junior Lifeguard Program is first come - first served.  Due to the popularity of the program, enrollment is expected to fill to capacity quickly. Students are considered enrolled in the program when the Junior Lifeguard office receives the completed application/release of liability form, physicians release form, and full payment of the tuition fees.  Your cancelled check is your tuition receipt.

Note:   It is necessary to submit the program fees with the application/waiver form in order to ensure your child’s place in the Junior Lifeguard Program. Failure to do so prevents the reservation of a spot for your child.

Swimming skills testing is scheduled for Saturday mornings during the month of June at The Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club in Palm Coast. Applicants for the Junior Lifeguard camp should come prepared to take the swimming skills assessment test. No child may be registered until the entire application packet is complete. This includes a physician’s release form which must include the physician’s signature and stamp.  Application packets may be downloaded from The City of Flagler Beach website at www.cityofflaglerbeach.com. 

For applicants who do not live in the Flagler Beach area, application packets may also be mailed or faxed (386-517-2008) to the City of Flagler Beach. The swimming skills assessment form must be completed at any 25-yard swimming pool by a certified lifeguard or swimming instructor.  Completed assessment forms must include the signature and contact information of the lifeguard or instructor who administers the assessment.
