17 Members Selected for 2024 Lifesaving Development Camp

Congratulations to the 17 members across the state who were selected for the 2024 Lifesaving Development Camp.

The Lifesaving Development Camp is a five day / four night camp based at Chiton Rocks SLSC and the south coast beaches/pool to develop lifesaving, leadership and aquatic search and rescue skills for 16 and 17 year olds.

It is an ideal opportunity for those who are looking to push their lifesaving skills and build a knowledge of emergency operations. The week is equally challenging and rewarding as participants undertake a number of advanced SLS awards (culminating in the Cert III in Public Safety (Aquatic Search and Rescue)), lifesaving and emergency operations activities and scenarios.

The 2024 camp will be held from Sunday 8th December - Friday 13th December 2024.
