Minneapolis Safety Camp

August Camp Will Teach Kids to Make Safe Choices

This year’s Minneapolis Safety Camp will be held August 6 – 8, 2013 at Theodore Wirth Park. The three day camp will teach local youth bike safety, first aid, how to prevent and stop bullying, internet safety, crime prevention, animal safety and much more. Minneapolis Police Officers and Firefighters will serve as counselors teaching campers personal and social safety skills in a fun and exciting environment.

The exciting and packed three day camp will kick off with a helicopter arriving on the first day and a ceremony and family picnic on the last day. The goal of the camp is to teach kids to make safe choices in different situations.

The cost to attend camp is $48 for Minneapolis residents and $53 for non-Minneapolis residents. The Minneapolis Safety camp is open to all youth entering third, fourth or fifth grade this fall.
