IMPORTANT 2023 UPDATES:

Updated May 1st, 2023 

 

Welcome to the Monterey Junior Lifeguards Website: 

Summer is almost upon us and time for JG's to start up again.  We now have our Session Calendars available in the 'CALENDAR' tab.  Please take a look so you can plan accordingly and remember - we will not be riding busses up to the Santa Cruz and Capitola competitions this year.  Parents will need to plan and carpool if their child wishes to attend.  We will be sending out JG welcome email letters one week before each Session starts which will have all the information you need to be prepared.  Uniform items will be available for purchase on site during the first 3 days of each Session as well.

2023 Session 1:  JUNE 12th- JUNE 30th

2023 Session 2:  JULY 10th- JULY 28th

We hope everyone has a great rest of the school year and we look forward to seeing you at Monterey JG's this summer!

For more than 50 years, the Junior Lifeguard Program has emphasized teamwork, leadership and aquatic safety while introducing young people, ages 9 to 16, to safe marine and aquatic recreation opportunities. The State of California values programs such as this one, but it is critical during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the junior lifeguards, their families and program instructors. State Parks will consult with public safety partners and health experts on how to move forward with future programs.

Follow State Parks on social media - Facebook, Twitter or Instagram – or visit www.parks.ca.gov/FlattenTheCurve for the most up-to-date information on how the department is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

*Prior to registration, you must create an account on ReserveCalifornia.com and list the JG's you would like to enroll as dependants on your account.  Please visit our 'Sign Up' page link for detailed step-by-step instructions on how to register.  Please note that the links to register will not be active until date and time registration opens (April 2nd, 2023 @ 8am).
