Lifeguard Camps Awarded Aquatics Program of the Year

It is with great honor and pride to announce that Incline Village Parks and Recreation’s Junior and Mini Lifeguard program has been recognized by the Nevada Recreation and Parks Society as Aquatics Program of the Year.

After three short years, this program has evolved into an important and popular camp for 5-8 year olds (Mini-Guards) and 9-15 year olds (Junior Lifeguards). The programs focus on water safety, development of aquatic skills, physical fitness, team work and leadership skills. In addition, participants gain lifeguarding skills, learn CPR/first aid and experience open water swimming. Graduating participants ultimately will be better prepared to become certified lifeguards for Incline Village. 

This program also concentrates on training and developing our lifeguard/coaches. Pre-season training has provided these employees the opportunity to develop and enhance their leadership and organizational skills. As part of this award recognition, we would like to thank and recognize our staff for their dedication and commitment to the Junior and Mini Guard programs.

Season #4 for Junior Guard and Mini Lifeguard camps begins in July and will include new curriculum that will challenge and enhance campers’ skills and knowledge. When you see us at Incline Beach, Burnt Cedar and in the water, come by and see what this award-winning program is all about.
