Junior Lifeguard Camp: (Sessions 1-8) The City of Flagler Beach Junior Lifeguard Camp is open to students ages of six to fifteen. It is a traditional Junior Lifeguard Camp Program which stresses ocean safety, physical fitness, teamwork, and basic Junior Lifeguard competition skills. Students will learn skills in CPR, First Aid, basic ocean rescue, ocean safety, surfing, and beach competition events. Camp activities may be quite strenuous which is why a doctor’s signature is required attesting to the physical health of all participants. Th Junior Lifeguard Camp involves deep water swimming activities conducted in a lifeguard supervised environment. In order to participate in such activities all prospective students must demonstrate the minimum skills required to ensure their safety. These skills include (1) swimming 100 meters in deep water without stopping, (2) treading in deep water for two minutes, and (3) retrieving a submerged object from a depth of 5 feet. Skill testing may be done at any one of the following dates: Saturday, May 30 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast Saturday, June 6 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast Saturday, June 13 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast Saturday, June 20 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast Saturday, June 27 8:00 A.M. – 9:00 A.M. Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, Palm Coast Please understand that if a child is unable to physically complete all phases of testing, he or she may still participate in BEACH CAMP, this is a less rigorous camp that focuses on game-based activity.When surf conditions are favorable, students will have the opportunity to practice swimming skills in a controlled shallow water environment. This is done for the safety of the child, as well as the success of the program. Exceptions to normal program hours for special events will be announced. Enrollment Enrollment in the Junior Lifeguard Program is first come - first served. Due to the popularity of the program, enrollment is expected to fill to capacity quickly. Students are considered enrolled in the program when the Junior Lifeguard office receives the completed application/release of liability form, physicians release form, and full payment of the tuition fees. Your cancelled check is your tuition receipt. Note: It is necessary to submit the program fees with the application/waiver form in order to ensure your child’s place in the Junior Lifeguard Program. Failure to do so prevents the reservation of a spot for your child. Swimming skills testing is scheduled for Saturday mornings during the month of June at The Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club in Palm Coast. Applicants for the Junior Lifeguard camp should come prepared to take the swimming skills assessment test. No child may be registered until the entire application packet is complete. This includes a physician’s release form which must include the physician’s signature and stamp. Application packets may be downloaded from The City of Flagler Beach website at www.cityofflaglerbeach.com. For applicants who do not live in the Flagler Beach area, application packets may also be mailed or faxed (386-517-2008) to the City of Flagler Beach. The swimming skills assessment form must be completed at any 25-yard swimming pool by a certified lifeguard or swimming instructor. Completed assessment forms must include the signature and contact information of the lifeguard or instructor who administers the assessment. Registration can be completed at Flagler Beach City Hall (105 South 2nd Street, Flagler Beach) Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. Registrations are accepted until camp is full. Please Note: We will NOT accept payments on the day of camp. ALL payments must be submitted to Flagler Beach City Hall.

Hurricane and Weather Information

Hurricane season is June 1st through November 30th. It is never too early to begin planning your family and your home for the storm season.  We urge you to plan now and be prepared. The 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which runs from June 1 through November 30, is forecasted to be more active than usual. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expects 13 to 19 named storms, with 6 to 10 becoming hurricanes and 3 to 5 of those possibly reaching major hurricane strength (Category 3 or higher). This increased activity is due in part to warmer Atlantic Ocean temperatures, continued ENSO neutral conditions and forecasts for weak wind shear and the potential for higher activity point for the Atlantic hurricanes.         Hurricane Preparedness Tips For North Miami residents, this forecast means it's especially important to stay alert and prepared. While we can’t predict exactly where storms will go, our location in South Florida makes us highly vulnerable. Members of the public are encouraged to utilize resources like the National Hurricane Center for crucial updates designed to help communities like ours make well-informed decisions before, during and after storms.  The City of North Miami urges all community members to begin preparing now. Review your family emergency plans, check your hurricane kits, and make sure you’re signed up for emergency alerts from the City. We are committed to keeping you informed and safe throughout the season. Working together, we can reduce risks and protect our community. Commonly Used Hurricane Terms Tropical Storm: Substantial winds of up to 73 mph and heavy rains, resulting in downed trees and power lines, heavy flooding and possible tornadoes.  Hurricane Watch: Advance statement issued by the National Hurricane Center, which implies the possibility of dangerous conditions within 24 to 48 hours.  Hurricane Warning: Advance statement issued by the National Hurricane Center that confirms hurricane conditions are considered imminent and may begin immediately or at least within the next 12 to 24 hours.  Hurricane: A violent storm organizing over tropical waters, with winds near its center reaching 74 mph and higher. A storm may range from 50 to 1,000 miles in diameter. For hurricane categories a associated sustained wind speeds, visit the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale website.  Storm Surge: A dome of seawater, often 50 miles wide that can sweep across the coastline inundating the land with water above normal high tide. Stay tuned to local media for advisories on the latest forecast. Local media includes television news media and news talk radio.
