The California Junior Lifeguard Programs, in association with the Newport Dunes Resort and Marina, are proud to announce that we are in our eighth year of the Back Bay summer Camp program.
Designed with care, it provides our participants with a safe and well-supervised introduction to the ocean environment. With a combination of aquatic and dry land activities, combined with a healthy dose of plain old “FUN”, it is designed to help build physical endurance and coordination, as well as improve the participant’s overall confidence.
The Back-Bay summer camp has much to offer that sets it apart from other summer camps:
A central location, near Jamboree Road and Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach, is convenient to all of Orange County.
Supervision and instruction are provided by trained and certified professional rescue personnel from the California Junior Lifeguard Programs, a leader in youth aquatic safety instruction and education with more than 19 years experience. All instructors are well skilled in the training of participants of all ages. This camp is a good starting point for participants who are not yet ready to venture into the ocean environment or have not yet met the age or tryout requirements of other aquatic programs. We offer a balanced program of physical conditioning and aquatic education in a less stressful environment.
