Forest Lake Safety Camp will be held June 14 and 15, and students finishing grades 7-12 are needed to lead groups of camp participants and engage the children in activities during that time. Junior counselors will work with children during their free times, keep them in small groups, make sure they move together between activities, eat lunch with them, see presentations, and be with other teens. Free snacks, lunches, and instructor t-shirts will be provided. Junior counselors are also required to attend a training session on June 13.
Forest Lake Safety Camp is also now accepting applications for participants. The camp is open to children in the Forest Lake School District entering grades 2-5. At camp, kids learn about a variety of safety issues such as bike, electrical, first aid, fire safety and more. Pre-registration is required.
Space is limited to the first 125 kids. The $25 camp fee includes a free bike helmet, a T-shirt, supplies, lunch, snacks and camp certification.
