San Luis Reservoir Junior Lifeguards

If you plan to head to the outdoors this weekend, parts of California are experiencing a #heatwave. The best ways to prevent heat-related illness are water, res...t and shade. Listen to your body and take a cool down rest period when necessary. Don’t forget, we’re still in a pandemic so continue to practice physical distancing and don’t congregate with others not from your immediate household.

Hello JG Family, We are saddened to share that JG’s 2020 has been cancelled. Here is the official statement from the department. We hope you stay safe, we will miss you all and look forward to JGs 2021. Updated (June 23, 2020): California State Parks has cancelled the 2020 Junior Lifeguard Program as the state continues to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Participants who have signed up for the program are being notified and refunds will be provided automatically.... For more than 50 years, the Junior Lifeguard Program has emphasized teamwork, leadership and aquatic safety while introducing young people, ages 9 to 16, to safe marine and aquatic recreation opportunities. The program consists of day camps, usually lasting three to five weeks, that provide instruction in first aid, CPR, ocean safety, rescue techniques, surfing and bodyboarding. The State of California values programs such as this one, but it is critical during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the junior lifeguards, their families and program instructors. State Parks will consult with public safety partners and health experts on how to move forward with the 2021 program. For the most up-to-date information on how the department is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, please visit www.parks.ca.gov/FlattenTheCurve.
