Treasure Coast Junior Lifeguards

Treasure Coast Junior Lifeguards offers Junior Lifeguard Summer Camps that include surf lifesaving camps, surfing, prone paddling, rescue board skills, ocean swimming, and challenging beach games. Participants take part in competition, board surfing, body surfing, paddling rescue boards, paddle boarding, and “FUN DAY” Friday activities such as getting “TUBED” behind a Wave Runner, chilling with “BOB,” and getting launched. The program includes learning lifeguard skills and first-aid skills, advanced rescue techniques, life-saving procedures, and a daily educational progression on how waves are created, how they travel, and how they react to local topography to cause breaking waves and rip currents, along with learning how to read waves and the surf line up.

Treasure Coast Junior Lifeguards is hosted by Marine First Responders. Marine First Responders is staffed by highly trained marine safety professionals and is a licensed training provider for the American Red Cross (ARC). The organization follows the ocean surf lifesaving guidelines of the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA) and the American Red Cross, and its instruction is grounded in nationally recognized standards and best practices. The camps are part of Marine First Responders’ mission to minimize risk and maximize safety in the water through comprehensive water safety education, including Junior Lifeguard Summer Camps and competition events. The program combines comprehensive water safety education with fun, physical, and confidence-building activities, promotes fitness while instilling core values such as teamwork, leadership, discipline, and responsibility, and is guided by the belief that prevention leads to fewer rescues. Participants learn to become an essential link in the chain of survival, prepared to respond effectively in emergencies until advanced care arrives, and the program helps children develop a passion for the ocean while building a foundation in ocean situational awareness, rip current knowledge, personal water safety, and respect for the marine environment. Sports recreation and educational camps serve families throughout the Treasure Coast, including Jensen Beach, Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach, as well as Hobe Sound, Tequesta, Jupiter, Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach Gardens.
