Safety Camp 2022, here we come! New Brighton Public Safety Departments and the New Brighton Parks and Recreation have joined forces with local community agencies to make this a Safety Camp you will never forget. We will all receive training on fire safety, home-alone awareness, electrical safety, hands-only CRP, First Aid, and many more hands-on opportunities! Lunch and snacks will be provided. All participants will receive a Safety Camp T-shirt and an award. Inclement weather information will be sent out by email, so please make sure to check your email before heading to Safety Camp. We will only accept one friend request per camper and both campers must request each other for it to be granted. All information will be emailed out to participants one week prior to the start of camp. Please bring a water bottle.
