Junior Lifeguard Camp
Junior Lifeguarding Camp 2026
Junior Lifeguarding Camp is a week-long program for children ages 10 - 14 who are interested in learning more about lifeguarding, love the water, and want to have fun!
​
Led by certified Lifeguarding Instructors, the camp focuses on water safety and fun! Each day, participants learn real lifesaving techniques that are used by lifeguards. Participants also earn an American Red Cross Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certification as part of the camp. Participants will enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at Worthington Pools and the day in the life of a lifeguard.
​
And, one day of class during each camp will be held at Zoombezi Bay! Participants will get an exclusive tour of the park with early entry and free swim time all day!
