The Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena will present ZAC Camp in June, which teaches 5 to 9 year olds lifesaving water safety skills.
The ZAC Camp program combines in-pool swimming lessons, safety classes with First Responders, and classroom curriculum. By week’s end campers are equipped with critical tools to ensure safe swimming, including: fundamental stroke training, emergency preparedness and response, and basic lifesaving techniques.
The 2013 Pasadena ZAC Camp will host campers Tuesday, June 18 through Friday, June 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The ZAC Camp opening ceremonies are Tuesday, June 18 at 9 a.m. and closing ceremonies will take place Friday, June 21, at 11:30 a.m. with special guest three-time Olympic gold medal swimmer Rowdy Gaines. Both ceremonies are open to campers, family, and friends.
The Pasadena ZAC Camp is part of a national partnership initiative undertaken by The ZAC Foundation and Boys & Girls Clubs of America to bring lifesaving water-safety skills to more than 1,000 of the youngest members of ten Clubs across the country. The Clubs were selected through a rigorous application process and chosen based on their commitment to advancing water safety locally. The Pasadena organization is the only Club in California to be chosen for this program.
