“There is a lot of responsibility that comes with becoming a camp counselor and lifeguard,” said Patricia Squires, Chief and CEO of Stamford EMS. “A big part of those roles is protecting others, and that means being prepared in the event of an emergency. This class provides the tools needed to make camp, and our pools and beaches, a safer place.”
