This camp is for ages 5-7 years. In order to register for this camp, your child must be between the ages of 5 and 7 at the time of camp, with no exceptions. Please, no repeat campers.
Please note: in light of the pandemic, we follow all government regulations in terms of adapting our camp to state regulations such as smaller groups, sanitation protocols, etc. We will keep you updated with any changes as things evolve.
Safety Town is an interactive safety awareness program for children 5-7 years of age. Each day the children will be introduced to various safety issues in a fun and safe environment. The program is taught by certified teachers with hands-on topics led by community guest speakers as well as visits from the Lake Forest Police Department and Lake Forest Fire Department. Teen volunteers lead the children through camp every day and receive valuable training along with obtaining community service hours. Campers learn about pedestrian safety by tricycling about a miniature town complete with streets, sidewalks, buildings, stop signs and a working traffic signal. Importance is placed on having the children memorize a cell phone number to call if they should ever become lost. We use fun songs to reinforce all of these principles and the children memorize our very own Safety Town Pledge!
Safety Town will be held at Gorton Center from Tuesday June 7th through Friday the 10th from 1 to 4pm, rain or shine. A t-shirt will be provided on the first day of camp for them to wear throughout the week. We ask that children bring their own helmets every day. We will provide the tricycles.
Safety Town has become a community favorite! We hope you will join us!
