Turn your summer into a paid adventure… by the water! Apply to Camp America this summer

Lifeguards are one of the most in-demand roles at camp. Every year, thousands of applicants go for waterside positions…

That could be you.

With a lifeguard qualification, you don’t just stand out - you unlock access to specialist roles, better pay, and some of the best spots at camp (think lakes, pools, waterslides!).

Become one of the 8000 people from around the world to spend a summer with Camp America.

Why consider lifeguarding at camp:

✅ You become an Advanced Skills Counsellor (yep, higher pocket money 💸)
✅ You massively boost your chances of getting placed
✅ You spend your summer by the water instead of watching from the sidelines
✅ You gain a real, employable skill before you even leave

 To make it happen, you’ll need a recognised qualification, and that’s where Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK) comes in.

 Their National Pool Lifeguard Qualification (NPLQ) is the go-to in the UK and Ireland, with over 40,000 people qualifying each year.

What you’ll get from the NPLQ:

✅ A qualification recognised worldwide
✅ Real lifesaving skills (not just theory)
✅ Confidence, fitness, and responsibility
✅ A real CV boost
✅ 8 UCAS points (Level 3 qualification)

 And it doesn’t stop at camp…

Qualified lifeguards are in high demand back in the UK too, so you’ve got job options waiting when you return.
