Junior Lifeguard Camp in Jacksonville Beach

All you parents out there who are looking for a fun camp for your kids, there's one in Jacksonville Beach that teaches ocean safety and how to become a lifeguard. It's for kids ages 9 to 15 and offers a variety of fun activities. Some current lifeguards around the Beaches once attended Junior Lifeguard Camp on the beach by the American Red Cross Volunteer Lifesaving Corps. As a parent, i am always in search of affordable camps, and this one, which is an all day Monday through Friday camp, is a relative bargain at $150 for the first week and $125 for additional weeks. My 14-year old daughter is attending that camp for two weeks this summer. If you are interested, check out my story and photo essay in the Saturday, July 12 Shorelines editions and on shorelines.com.
