Hello Jr. Lifeguards!
We are getting ready for another great summer here at Castaic Lake. The program sessions are almost here! I want to go over a few things that will help with this year's process of Tryouts (only for new JGs or if you missed last year’s program), Application, Uniform Handout, and Permission Slips
