Taylor, her good friend Skylar, and about 200 other kids spent the last couple of weeks at Grant Wood Elementary in Iowa City for Safety Camp.
This is fabulous program put on by emergency services, the school, and many other volunteers. During the two weeks, the children learn about safety with regards to electricity, traffic, fire, strangers, weather, etc.
The most exciting part of Safety Camp is the Safety Village that is built behind the school. This Village consists of city streets (and cars) with pavement markings, traffic signals, traffic signs, a railroad crossing, as well as numerous buildings including a replica Old Capitol.
This place was really fantastic. On the last day of camp, parents were invited for a one hour tour of what the kids do on a daily basis at camp, as well as tour the Village.
Taylor was lucky enough to be in the same Orange group as Skylar, which they truly loved.
Tay's brother's were definitely jealous when they found out she was able to wear a true fireman suit.
What a wonderful program that we would recommend to everyone. Tay is already looking forward to next year and we can't wait to get the boys enrolled. God knows that the boys definitely need to learn about safety!
