The Bass District Lifesaving Development Camp Management team are proudly planning to run yet another Development camp in the new year. We are hopeful to see a full capacity camp with little interruptions.
This is just an expression of interest to initially gain a response from club members and get the ball rolling
Expressions of interest will close on Friday the 29th of September (Grand Final public holiday) so please spread the word. Link provided at the bottom of this letter.
About Dev Camp
For those unfamiliar, this camp is a week-long live in camp that is heavily scenario-based training. We offer ART, FA. IRBC and IRBD. We focus heavily on leadership and offer a lot of leadership knowledge, experience, and training. We are hoping to expand beyond the bass region this year and offer both candidate and leadership roles. We encourage everyone to partake. If any further questions – please contact the camp coordinator.
