Camp America was a life changing experience for me. I didn’t think I would have the experience and confidence to be a certified lifeguard. but the training I received was thorough and I had a lot of support.

Taking the campers out on the lake, doing things they'd never usually have the opportunity or support to do, was the greatest feeling. Seeing them feel like they can do anything was the best!
