You will also oversee our inflatable adventure course. All our swimming is done in a lake (no pools), using a floating dock system to separate and define swim areas.
If you are looking to forge a career in the Camp industry, in aquatics or in education you could not ask for a better experience than this Lifeguard position! Free LGT and/or WSI re-certs are available to the successful candidate! Equal Opportunity Employer.
