Volunteers needed for next week’s EcoSwim Hagg Lake summer camp with Bienestar, on Tuesday 8/18 and Wednesday 8/19 from 9a - 4p. The 2025 Bienestar summer program kicks off on Monday 8/18 with a full day Red Cross Adult & Pediatric First Aid / CPR / AED training delivered in Spanish. On Tuesday 8/19 and Wednesday 8/20, we’ll head to Hagg Lake for the EcoSwim day camp. I am so excited for this program. Activities include Environmental Education & Terrarium Building, Water Safety & Swimming, Art & Journaling, Tent & Shelter Building, Fishing, Boating Safety & SUP/Kayak. Participants will experience all aspects of outdoor education, safety, and hands on learning in a supportive, safe, fun, passion-forward program. Our group this summer will be approximately 50 participants comprised of individuals and whole families with children ages 5+. Each day we’ll start the program at 10a. On arrival, participants will be welcomed to the central gathering space, receive an orientation to the program, and divide into groups. The groups will rotate through 4 stations on 50 minute intervals with 5 minutes transition time. At about noon we’ll break for lunch provided by our partner Bienestar, and at 3p we'll conclude the program. Volunteers are asked to arrive by 9a to sign in, orient, and settle in, and to plan to stick around until 4p to tidy up, debrief and receive my undying admiration and a generous gift card of appreciation. Bring your swim suits for a pre- or post- swim — the water is beautiful! To give you a better sense of the day and where you can lead, attached is the program. Please reach out with any questions at all and please join the fun. It will be great to have you there! https://www.waterstrong.org/signup (fb)
