Eden Prairie residents with children ages 7 to 9 might want to block off the last week of June for a local summer highlight. In an effort to mix education with outdoor fun, the City of Eden Prairie is once again hosting its annual Safety Camp at Riley Lake Park. The event, announced in a recent bulletin, promises two days packed with activities designed to teach children various safety topics.
Running June 25-26, the camp will cover a broad range of subjects including water safety, personal safety, and internet safety. Taking care, the Eden Prairie Police, Fire, and Parks & Recreation Departments host the event, aiming to instill vital safety knowledge in a fun and engaging environment. According to the bulletin, the program also includes lessons on bike safety, animal safety, and fire safety.
The camp isn’t just about learning; it ends with a moment of acknowledgment for the participating kids and their parents at a graduation ceremony. This marks not just the completion of the camp but also celebrates the new skills and awareness that the young attendees have gained. Moreover, activities are structured to encourage interaction and teamwork among campers, facilitating a comfortable and sociable learning atmosphere.
The cost for this immersive and potentially life-saving experience? Only $65, is a small investment for the peace of mind and the knowledge that the children will take away from these two days. While eager to join the fun, registration for the Safety Camp remains currently open. If interested in signing up, parents can visit the official website to secure a spot for their child.
For families looking for a blend of summer fun and educational content for their children, the Eden Prairie Safety Camp seems to check all the boxes. With the days getting longer and the school year winding down, this could be a timely opportunity to keep kids engaged and informed during their break.
