What is it like being a lifeguard at a summer camp in America?
Jess is spending her second summer at Chestnut Lake Camp in the USA as part of Camp America. In this video, she shares what a typical day looks like working as a camp lifeguard, from supervising swimming sessions and driving boats to helping campers build confidence in and around the water.
No two days are exactly the same. Alongside lifeguarding duties, Jess gets to be part of camp activities, celebrations, and the moments that make summer camp so special. One of her highlights is seeing campers enjoy experiences they might not get at home and knowing she's played a part in making those memories happen.
Working as a lifeguard at camp is a great opportunity to gain responsibility, leadership experience, and practical skills while spending your summer outdoors in the USA. For many staff, the most rewarding part isn't the job itself - it's seeing the impact they have on the children they work with every day.
