Youth Aquatic Leadership Program at The Central Y
(overnight included)
2 week duration
Youth work toward their Lifesaving Society Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross certifications in a full day camp setting during this two-week program. Youth spend four to five hours daily on lifesaving certification skills and the remainder of the day participating in camp activities. During an overnight retreat to YMCA Cedar Glen, they can put their trust and communication skills to the test on both high and low rope challenge courses and rock climbing wall. They also have the opportunity to volunteer at a YMCA Day Camp based on successful completion of the program and an interview. Community service hours for school may also be earned this program.
