What to bring:
- Swim suit – due to the physical nature of these courses, it’s recommended that candidates wear a one-piece bathing suit or well-fitting swim trunks.

- Swim Goggles – are strongly recommended.

For those not familiar with the Carleton Campus, see this map: Campus Map.
Keep in mind that Parking is not free, so please pay for parking if you intend to stay in Lot 5 longer than just a drop-off/pick-up, in order to avoid getting a ticket from Parking Services.
Lockers in the main locker rooms are available for day use. We recommend that candidates bring clothes/valuables to the pool-deck in a gym bag or back-pack for safe-keeping.
Parents/spectators are NOT permitted to remain on the pool deck during the camp, however, the POOL GALLERY on the 3rd floor will be open.
If you have any questions, concerns or feedback … PLEASE talk to the JLC Instructor or the Lifesaving Camp Supervisor.
SELF-SIGN OUT – Although most JLC campers are younger in age, Self-Sign out for older candidates (12yrs +) is an option. If you are interested, Instructors & the Camp Supervisor will have a Self-Sign Out Sheet at check-in that will require the signature of a parent/guardian on DAY ONE.
