Programs and Courses

The Red Cross Babysitting course has been refreshed and revised, now with a greater emphasis on First Aid skills. The Canadian Red Cross Babysitting course covers everything from managing difficult behaviours to essential content on leadership and professional conduct as a babysitter. Babysitting promises to deepen and enhance the responsibility that older youth feel when caring for younger children. This updated curriculum provides improved learning when it comes to giving the appropriate care in the event of an emergency.  This course is available for youth between the ages of 11-15 years.

The Camrose Tsunami Lifesaving Club offers swimmers a variety of programming that not only builds their swimming skills but also their lifesaving skills. The club is split into two streams: competitive and recreational. 

The competitive stream is for the swimmer who desires to compete at a regional, provincial, national level and maybe even an international level. Within this stream we have multiple groups to fit various skills and personal goals. 

Recreational stream is less intense but equally focused on swimming skills and offers a balance of in-class work that helps the swimmer achieve lifesaving courses that bridges the gap between the advanced courses such as Bronze Medallion and Cross or National Lifeguard. 

• Puddle Jumpers I is our introductory group and is suited for swimmers between 6-10 years of age, who are looking to explore the world of lifesaving. Practices are an hour long twice a week. 
• Puddle Jumpers II is the next leap into lifesaving.  We continue to build swimming skills, while introducing lifesaving equipment and skills.  Practices are twice a week and total three hours. Swimmers must have swimming experience and are able to swim 100m continuously.  
• Lifesaving Core is for our emerging or experienced swimmers between the ages of 8-19 years and who are wanting to test their skills in competition.  Practices are two hours long and available twice or three times a week. 
• Lifesaving Senior is for our experienced swimmer, between 15 -19 years of age and who is wanting a more intense training regime and who is looking to compete in long course. Practices are four times a week for two hours. Swimmers in this group who are focused on competing at the National Level will have additional practices available starting in February.  
• Masters is for the adult swimmer who is looking for fitness, add to their swimming regime or who are looking to compete.  Practices are twice a week for an hour, with an additional coaching for swimmers who want to compete in lifesaving competitions.  These are coached sessions, with sets designed to meet your personal goals.  
• Intro to Masters is for people who are wanting to get back into swimming or who never really learned how to swim.  You must have some basic skills in the water.  For two hours a week over the next few months, we will teach basic strokes, while building your endurance. 
• Junior Rec group is for swimmers between 8-12 years of age and practices are twice a week and an hour long. 
• Senior Rec group is for the older swimmers between 13-18 years of age and practices are twice a week for an hour and a half.  

There are two offerings of the Camrose Tsunami Lifesaving Club (October - December) and (January - April).

Real-world scenarios often call on children to respond to challenges. The Red Cross Stay Safe! program teaches applicable and age-appropriate skills, while increasing and reinforcing a youth's capacity to improve his or her own safety. Whether in their community or on their own, this group will be given better tools to Stay Safe! in a variety of different situations. This course is for youth between the ages of 9 - 13 years.
