12.30 - 13.00 Mission Beach USA

The following description, which I swear I am not making up, is for a TV show that airs every two weeks on BBC 2:

Youth reality-tv

Eight British teenagers tackle sun, sea and survival in the real life O.C. Eight UK teenagers arrive in San Diego to train at the San Diego Junior Lifeguard School, but its only a matter of hours before a rude awakening throws them into deep water. Watch them as they experience the California lifestyle complete with beach barbecues and volleyball.

Everything that you inferred from description is correct: 8 people, who are either 16 or 17-years-old, come to the ‘real life O.C.’ to do the San Diego Junior Guards summer camp. It’s a little sad, really.
