Coon Rapids Ice Center To Host Annual Safety Camp For Kids On June 17-18

Mark your calendars for a two-day event where learning and safety go hand-in-hand. Coon Rapids Ice Center is set to host this year's Safety Camp on June 17-18, welcoming kids entering 4th and 5th grades. Organized by the Coon Rapids Fire and Police Departments, the camp will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is packed with critical safety skills tailored for the young ones.

According to information released by the Coon Rapids official website, the camp's agenda includes fire and electrical safety training, basic first aid, lessons on how to use 911, and tips for staying safe online. And for those young campers who need to practice balancing life-saving skills with fun, the camp offers a chance to bring their bikes and spend a day at a local pool learning about water safety.

An important aspect of the camp, aside from the myriad of safety skills imparted, is the emphasis on community and celebration. Embracing the end of the two-day experience, a graduation and awards ceremony will be held on the west side of the Coon Rapids Ice Center, outdoors, at 4 p.m., June 18, for both families and students to attend.

The cost of the camp might seem a deterrent for some, sitting at $40, but the community seeks to ensure every child has a chance to attend. "If you require financial assistance, please call 763-767-6409 for scholarship information," urges the event's official announcement, hinting at available support to those in need. Furthermore, the camp promises to keep the kids well-fueled with snacks and lunch served daily.

Parents wanting to secure a spot for their child must act promptly: registration is open until Monday, June 9, at 4:30 p.m. For more details about the Safety Camp or on how to register, you can visit the official Coon Rapids website or call 763-767-6429 for more information.
