Description: Your Young 5, Kindergartener or First Grader can become a Super Safety Citizen! Every day, Monday through Friday, brings new adventures where campers learn how to be safe at home, outside and in their community. Dangerous situations can happen anywhere and Safety Town teaches budding Safety Citizens just what to do. When Safety Town 2020 is finished, every camper will be a true Safety Citizen that knows how to safely have fun at home and in the community. Come prepared for the virtual adventure of the summer!


This summer the curriculum has been completely re-imagined to work as a virtual camp that includes the many core components that children love. We're using Zoom for a combination of live interactions with a teacher and police officers, and pre-recorded videos from favorite presenters. These include Buster the Bus and Louie the Lightning Bug along with Fire, Car, Bike, Dog, Water Pedestrian, Tricky Adults and other important Safety topics. Songs, games, stories and projects reinforce the lessons as children learn when to call 911 and their full name, parent's names, address and phone number.

Camp meeting Monday through Friday for 1.5 hours. 30 minutes are scheduled in the middle so children have a brain-break to run around, have a snack and come back refreshed and ready to continue their Super Safety Citizen training.

A separately scheduled adults-only Zoom webinar with Officer Doug covers what parents need to know about tricky adults and gun safety. All pre-recorded videos will be available to families through a closed group to watch together at any time. Materials for projects, a special-edition t-shirt and a bike helmet are provided at the Safety Town Kick Off Event.

Safety Town Kick Off Event
On the Friday before your child's camp week, there is an in-person special event for your camper and whole family. Previous Safety Town participants are encouraged to wear their Safety Town shirts! We will follow all public health protocols. Location, time and other details to come in a later email.
  • Materials for projects (sorted by day and with directions), a special edition Safety Town t-shirt and a bike helmet will be safely given to you when you drive up
  • A variety of safety vehicles will be on site
  • Many of our usual presenters will be there too - first bumping from a distance
  • Depending on what is allowed, you may be able to take a picture with one of the vehicles or by the Safety Town sign
Because the materials, bike helmet and t-shirt are given to every child, there is still a fee for each attending child. Adult assistance is needed to help your child participate. Also, because an adult will be involved AAPS staff may use their Staff Pass (BOE) to cover the cost.
Scholarships are available to those who qualify financially.

Notes:
We are using Zoom as our virtual platform and will send out a link the day before class begins.
