A

Posted 5 June 2009
There are a few spots still available for any 7 to 14 year old children
who would like to attend the Veterans Memorial Hospital Safety Day
Camp. This camp will be held on Wednesday, June 17, at the
Allamakee County Fairgrounds from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The day camp is designed to increase children’s awareness of a wide
variety of safety hazards, as well as provide them with hands-on, first
aid training to help themselves or someone else survive an accident
should one occur.
Individual topics covered at this year’s safety camp will include the
following:
Camping Safety
First Aid
Electrical Safety
Tractor Safety
Grain Bin Safety
Bicycle Safety
Meth/Drug Awareness
Lawnmowers/Chainsaws/Pinch Points
Firearm Safety
Alcohol Effects Simulator
There will also be four large group demonstrations showing power
take-off entanglement, heavy gates or a tractor dual falling on an
object, fire safety and a helicopter fly-in by MedLink Air.
Parents can register their children to participate in the camp by
picking up a registration form at the main entrance of Veterans
Memorial Hospital or from the Allamakee County Extension Office.
Or you may register for the camp on-line at www.veteransmemorialhospital.com.
A $10 registration fee for the event covers lunch, snacks, a take-home
packet, first aid kit and a safety day camp T-shirt. For
questions, please call event coordinator, Jeff Mitchell, EMS-Supervisor
at Veterans Memorial Hospital at 568-3411.
