The kids started off the two-day camp learning about bike safety, car safety, gun safety, first aid, CPR, and more! |

Crash-test dummies Vince and Larry taught the kids how to propery buckle themselves into a vehicle. |

After Vince and Larry, they got to buckle themselves up. |

Eddie the Eagle along with the Sheriffs, taught the kids about gun safety. "Stop! Don't Touch! Leave the area! Tell and adult!" |
|

During bicycle safety, they put a jello brain in a helmet and dropped it from a ladder. That survived, but without the helmet, it busted. |

Then the kids broke into teams and went to stations. One station was adult CPR. |

Another station was infant CPR. |

At splinting, the kids learned what to do when someone had a broken arm or leg. |
|

At first aid, they learned what to do when someone was bleeding badly. |

Inside the ambulance, the kids got to see what was inside and how it was used. |

The fire departments came to teach the kids about fire safety. |

They learned the stop, drop, and roll and how to drag someone from a fire. |
|

In the Fire House, kids had to feel the door that had smoke coming from underneath it to be sure it was safe to enter. |

Once out, they climbed down the ladder to safety. |

Air Care showed up to let the kids see what the inside of their helicopter was like and tell them about their job. |

Inside, they had all the equipment necessary to help save lives. |
|

The kids found the helicopter amazing as it was landing and taking off. |

Everyone and their family got the chance to look closely at the Air Care helicopter. |

Then it was time for a group picture. Here are the kids, counselors, fire men, EMS, and Air Care crew just before Air Care took off. |

The kids also got to see a fire truck close up and see how they work the hoses and everything else on the truck. |

They also saw and ambulance and the equipment inside and were told how the equipment is used. |

Then it was off to the races. First, they hopped to the car and properly buckled themselves in. |

Then, they hopped over to a table where they dialed 911 and told them their emergency. |
|

Then it was time for CPR. They had to give two breaths and thirty compressions. |

Then it was first aid. They had to go the patient, put on their golves, and apply pressure with the gauze to stop the bleeding. |

Then they finished it off with water safety. They had to secure their life vests and slide to the end. |

At the end, they had a graduation complete with cake. |
|

They were very busy and learned a lot in two days, but they still all had tons of fun! |

Thanks again to the Reading Emergency Unit, Allen Fire Dept., Hillsdale Fire Dept., Montgomery Fire Dept., Air Care, the local sheriff's department, and all the volunteers! |

Without all of you, none of this would have been possible!! |

We hope to see all of you again next year! |
