Safety Day Camp Planned in Waukon on June 4 for all Children
Veterans Memorial Hospital will be hosting the Safety Day Camp for children ages 6 to 14 on Wednesday, June 4, at the Allamakee Fairgrounds from 8:15 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The camp is open to all children in the area. It is a true safety camp that instructs many areas of safety that addresses every child’s life.
During the camp, children participate in interactive activities that reinforce the importance of taking responsibility for their own safety, respecting parents’ safety rules and sharing safety tips with their family and friends. Hands-on demonstrations teach lifesaving first aid techniques and reveal the hidden hazards of children’s surroundings. Camp demonstrations also focus on farm hazards associated with many various safety topics.
