Open water lifeguarding experience preferred but not required.
If you are a lifeguard with a kayak it's the ideal situation. Double bonus!
For land lifeguards patrolling the shoreline, please plan to bring a bike or prepare to walk 8 miles. Please let us know if you need a bike provided for you.
You must be licensed at the time of event.
These are 8 hour shifts so please consider that before signing up. You may want to bring along your own nutrition and hydration and may want to strongly consider an umbrella or something to protect from the sun. Please also consider the weather and whether you may need to bring a sweatshirt or poncho for rain. If you are positioned on a boat, you may want to wear a wetsuit.
Please note that on Mackinac Island there are no vehicles!! The mode of transportation are the good feet you were given, bicycles and horseback. Please consider this when thinking about what you will be taking with you on the Island. Bring good walking shoes.
