. <br />CITY OF ARDEDT iiII,IS <br />y1�u,�;C � �1� lul <br />L1ATE: SeptecnbPx 14, 1992 <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Board <br />FROM: Cindy Severtson, Program Supervisor <br />SU&TDGT: SafetY Camp <br />I am very pleased to announce that the first Youth Safety Camp was a <br />huge success. I continue to receive phone calls praising the program. <br />The camp ended on Pugust 19 with a barb�ze and program for the 153 <br />participants and their families. There were approximately 450-500 <br />people who attended this closing program. <br />We received a$2,000 grant from the Minnesota De�zt of Health to <br />give free bike helmets to all participants. Participants also received <br />a packet of information on various safety issues to take home and <br />discuss with their parents. <br />. Highlights from the two days of camp included: the Sfioke House which <br />simulates being in a house on fire and forces those inside to find <br />alte.rnate escape routes, John Dooley the weathex man at KSTP 5 and his <br />presentation on weather safety, the canine demonstration and the arrival <br />of the helicoptex carrying Sinokey the Bear. App�arances were also made <br />by McGruff the Cr�me dog and Sparky the Fire dog. <br />The participants were divided into six groups. Each group was lead by a <br />volunteer from the Lake Johanna Fire Depart�n�zt, Minnesota Highway <br />Patrol or the Ramsey County Sheriff's Depart-ment. <br />The program was organized by Pam Kight from the Ramsey County Sheriff's <br />Dept., Margaret DuCharme-Johnson,Altexnative Transportation Coordinator <br />in Shoreview, and myself. <br />The attached page includes a list of presenters and sponsors. <br />Although extxemely time constnning to organize, the camp is a very <br />worthwhile and fun event for the children. I am planning to make Safety <br />Camp an annual event in Arden Hills. <br />CLS : rk <br />Attac,�i�me.nts <br />\� <br />
