Below is an overview of the programs and opportunities available to Life Saving Victoria club members. Talk to your club if you’re interested in these exciting development opportunities.
Our three-day live-in youth development camps are designed to inspire young participants and build essential lifesaving and broader developmental skills. Each age group focuses on a variety of soft and technical skills to ensure that each child is given every opportunity to grow and express themselves in a safe environment.
The U13 development camp is an opportunity for youth members to develop their interpersonal skills, broaden their understanding of lifesaving, and access support that will help them as they progress through their lifesaving journeys.
The U15 leadership development camp is an opportunity for youth members to develop their leadership, interpersonal and teamwork skills and broaden their understanding of lifesaving. This camp supports participants to understand their own leadership style, and how their actions impact others.
The U18 Leadership Development Camp is designed to empower our emerging lifesaving leaders by equipping them with key leadership, communication, and technical skills. Through interactive sessions, practical training and hands-on experience, participants will gain a deeper understanding of leadership roles within lifesaving and the broader surf lifesaving community.
Our Youth Development Programs support youth members in key transitional periods of their lifesaving journey.
The programs are run to show youth members the vast array of opportunities available to them and help them to understand the variety of pathways involved in lifesaving for all interests. These programs bring together youth members from across the state and promote networking with likeminded individuals.
Our development programs include:
The LSVj Advisory Committee provides a platform for youth lifesaving members to have a voice, develop programs that youth members will want to be part of, and create a sustainable future for lifesaving.
At LSV we want to know what excites our youth members about lifesaving, and what motivates and drives their passion to keep you returning to the beach.
LSVj in return will provide youth with unique development opportunities and help develop leadership and communication skills. This gives members the opportunity to work with other likeminded, motivated and passionate lifesavers.
