Lifeguards are responsible for ensuring the safety of all campers and staff during waterfront activities at Camp Chestermere. They supervise the waterfront, enforce safety standards, maintain accurate safety records, and act as first responders in any emergencies. In preparation for camp, lifeguards will inventory lifejackets and other waterfront supplies as well as organize lifejacket sign-out systems to ensure smooth operations. As part of the seasonal leadership team, this role also supports our May and June activity days by helping run activities and hosting/assisting school groups on site.

In addition to modelling servant leadership by guiding staff in emergency protocols and mentoring others in waterfront safety, lifeguards will be expected to participate in camp activities outside of lifeguarding hours. 

This role requires a valid National Lifeguard Service (NLS) certification, maturity, confidence to enforce safety protocols, and a calm, compassionate, faith-driven approach to serving the camp community.
