The Junior Lifeguard Program is hosting its fourth season of their open water training on the Southern Oregon Coast.  For the first time, they will be offering a session at Sunset Bay, in Coos Bay, at the end of June.  Registration for the session is free and youth in the region are encouraged to participate.  The Sunset Bay Session is a 3-days, running June 28th-30th 2025. The class is instructed by certified open water lifeguards teaching youth ages 9-17 about ocean safety awareness, lifesaving skills, and focuses on improving open water, board, and paddling skills.  This program is available through the generous grant funding from the Southern Oregon Workforce Investment Board.  An Oregon State Marine Board small grant has made this special session FREE to registrants.  The sessions aim to further our region's youths understanding of their open water environments, provide them with the skills to recreate safely, and enhance their paths in the maritime field.  For more information and how to register for the sessions please contact the Junior Lifeguard Program.
