Eastern Region Junior Guard School

The Eastern Region Junior Guard School to be held at Whangamata is being run for a third year running following the success of prior years' camps. The program is being run to deliver development opportunities for Lifeguards aged 14 - 16 in the Eastern Region. The course will take place in the July School holidays from Friday 7th July at 6pm - Sunday 9th July at 3pm

Applicant Criteria;
- Attendees must be aged 14 – 16
- Attendees must be refreshed Surf Lifeguards
- Attendees must be current members of a Surf Lifesaving Club

Whilst attendees who have attended this course previously will be considered priority spacing will go to those members who are in their first season / have not attended prior.

Members from clubs outside of the Eastern Region will be considered however priority spacing will go to those in the Coromandel, Bay of Plenty & Gisborne areas.

Attendees will be assessed on their volunteer patrol hours and level of involvement in Surf Lifesaving events alongside other considerations – we may seek club endorsement for those members the regional staff aren’t familiar with already.

Finally, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Diverse Distributors and Roundwood NZ who are members of our Surf Lifesaving Community we are now able to offer this course free of charge to all participants – we’re very grateful for their support.
