About Us
Treasure Coast Junior Lifeguards
Based in Martin County, Florida, Marine First Responders is staffed by highly trained marine safety personnel dedicated to minimizing risk and maximizing safety on the water. Each summer we host a Junior Lifeguard summer camps for youths 9-14 combining comprehensive water safety education and training with FUN activities, such as surfing, prone paddling boarding, free diving and challenging beach games to build confidence, promote fitness and instill core values of teamwork and leadership. And most important finding their passion for the ocean at our surf camps. Your child will develop a strong foundation for water safety, ocean awareness and respect for the marine environment. The sports and recreation education camp is held on Hutchinson Island at Jensen Beach and Sailfish Splash Waterpark in Martin County and includes a guided free diving lesson on the Georges Valentine Shipwreck Dive Site, located off the House of Refuge in Stuart.
Hosted by Marine First Responders
Marine First Responders respects the marine environment and its community and is dedicated to minimizing the risk and maximizing safety on the water through water safety education offering the Treasure Coast Jr. lifeguard summer camps and marine safety services for aquatic events. Marine First Responders’ specialized training and education is paramount for anyone who spends time on the water, with the skills to stay safe — and to act as a first responder to aid someone in danger. With the belief that more prevention means fewer rescues, our community will learn to identify and assess risk in the ever-changing marine environment, acquire safety skills and learn advanced rescue techniques and life-saving procedures at our surf camps . Paramedics, nurses, and doctors can not save people without the assistance of first responders. With training from Marine First Responders, you can learn to be the missing link in the chain of survival.
