Lifesaving Camp

Learn lifesaving skills, build confidence, and make new friends! This camp combines the Bronze Star and Bronze Medallion programs into an exciting and challenging week. Campers will build strength and endurance as they level up their swim skills. They’ll learn water rescue techniques and CPR through engaging games, teamwork, and hands-on practice—all while having a blast. Whether campers are aiming for certification or simply looking to sharpen their swim skills, this camp is the ultimate way to grow as a swimmer and kickstart the journey toward Bronze Medallion certification!

For an additional $20 fee, campers can take the Bronze Star or Bronze Medallion Lifesaving Society certification exam on the final day.

Prerequisite: Able to swim 100 metres (four lengths) without stopping.
