Kingsport Aquatic Center offering Junior Lifeguard Camp

The Kingsport Aquatic Center is offering a special Junior Lifeguard Camp this summer for children and teens interested in learning rescue skills and a basic knowledge of what it takes to become a lifeguard.

The American Red Cross Junior Lifeguard Camp will be offered in five sessions this summer and is open for youth ages 11 to 15. Registration is now open and the cost is $200 for KAC/YMCA members and $225 for non-members.

Sessions will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the following dates:
