About This Activity
Description
Safety Town is for incoming Young 5, Kindergarten or First Grade students.Students must be 5 years old by December 1, 2025.
NOTE: We do only allow participants to register for one week of Safety Town so that we can have other children attend the program as well. Please note that all the activities and information covered is the same for each week.
Safety Town is one of Rec & Ed's most popular summer educational programs. Your child will learn safety awareness in a fun and entertaining way using a child-sized mock Ann Arbor "town" explored on tricycles. Children learn how to distinguish the difference between safe and unsafe when confronted with potentially dangerous situations. Guest speakers include police officers, firefighters, "Louie the Lightning Bug", water safety specialists and more! Songs, games, stories and art projects reinforce the lessons about:
- Animal Safety
- Bike, Pedestrian and Vehicle Safety
- First Responder Safety
- Home & Electricity Safety
- School Bus Passenger Safety
- Water Safety
- Health & Wellness
- Body Safety
- AND MORE!
