I∙SPARC (Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity & Recreation Council) is pleased to present the Provincial Lifeguarding Leadership Camp, hosted in partnership with the Aboriginal Youth F.I.R.S.T. Program (Futures in Recreation & Sport Training).
This week-long camp is open to self-identified Indigenous youth (First Nation, Métis, Inuit) of all ages and will introduce the sport of Lifesaving & Lifeguarding for both beginners and advanced athletes. The camp will be delivered by certified Lifesaving Society and PADI instructors.
The program encourages participants to create a personal vision by providing short and long term opportunities in the areas of aquatics, lifesaving, scuba diving, first aid and recreational leadership. They are also encouraged to be junior leaders and, in turn, become role models for future students. Participants develop skills that prepare them for outdoor leadership opportunities and employment. All program staff are selected from these junior leaders.
