Healthy, Active Surfing Kids

Today, Surf Camp is off to the Healthy Kids Day at the YMCA! The event will be from 11am - 2pm and will be promoting healthy lifestyles for children, and showcasing organizations which promote such lifestyles. Open to everyone, it’s a chance to see what is available in the Wilmington area.  Many children these days spend an enormous amount of time playing video games and watching television. As this inactivity grows, so does kid’s waistlines and their risk for illness later in life. For this reason, a proactive employee of the YMCA, has coordinated a “Healthy Kids Day,” where Surf Camp will have a booth set up to educate kids on the benefits of getting out doors, surfing, and leading a healthy and active lifestyle.   

 

Stop watching TV, get outdoors and come Learn to Surf the Right Way!

First Aid and CPR Certifications

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

     Hands on Training  Instructors Must Pass Certification Test             

Surf Camp is an authorized provider of the American Red Cross training system, so we provide our staff with their Lifeguard and CPR-PR/ First Aid training.  With safety being Surf Camp’s top priority, it’s time for re-certifications and new certifications for our instructors and counselors for the 2008 season.  After going through hundreds of applications this season, we have selectively chosen an incredible staff with a diverse range of education, talents, and personalities.  Last night was the first night of our certification classes, so we spent the evening learning about First Aid, and the whole class passed with flying colors!  Tonight, we will recertify staff in CPR for the Professional Rescuer, and on Saturday, we will certify new staff by instructing the full CPR-PR course. 

Summertime……here we come!!
