Camps and Lifeguarding

During the summer there are tons of different camps going on and they are all looking for young staff to help run them. Do some research and find out what camps are going on around your area and if they are looking for staff to help run it. Camps often pay a lot of money to the staff for staying there multiple weeks. Camps are always fun to so it wouldn't be like you were wasting your time being bored. You basically get paid to have fun while running programs at a camp. A big spot that always needs filled at camps is life guarding. Ninety percent of summer camps have a pool and you can run a pool without lifeguards. Right now lifeguards are in short supply so camps are willing to pay a lot for them. Most lifeguards make around 10 dollars an hour! All you have to do is go to a class to become certified and it is really simple. Most of the time lifeguards don't need to do much while on duty because kids aren't drowning every time they step in the pool. You do need to be ready just in case the time comes when you do need to save some one's life. But for the most part you only have to sit there and enforce the rules. Sounds like easy money to me don't you think? Below I am listing some helpful sites if you decide to look into becoming a lifeguard. http://www.clubswim.com/lifeguard.asp http://www.ehow.com/how_16979_become-lifeguard.html http://www.arclcc.org/training/lifeguard.htm
