For the first time since 2018, ChildrenConnect Newnan Children’s Museum is reintroducing Safety City to downtown Newnan, a Spring Break Camp in partnership with Newnan Fire Department, Newnan Police Department, Newnan Utilities, the City of Newnan, and Mayor Keith Brady. Children in kindergarten to fifth grade have the opportunity to learn safety and emergency readiness through a fun, engaging and immersive experience! They can anticipate an exciting lineup of fire safety demonstrations, interactive activities, guided tours of emergency vehicles, and health and safety displays by EMTs. Plus, campers will learn water, energy, and electricity safety.
This four day drop-off camp session will take place during Spring Break, April 2nd – 5th, 9:00 AM – Noon each day. It will be held at the ChildrenConnect Museum, located on the corner of Temple Ave and College St. Here is what themes and activities you can expect;
● Day 1 – Fire Safety – Learn fundamental fire safety practices, gain awareness of fire hazards, and become comfortable responding safely in emergency situations.
● Day 2 – Police Interaction – Develop a positive connection with law enforcement, learn the role of policing in our community and importance of safety awareness, while also becoming familiar with how to respond to different road signs through life-size simulations on tricycle bikes.
● Day 3 – EMT and Emergency Preparedness – Enhance understanding of emergency medical services, learn basic first aid skills, and overall emergency preparedness for children to be empowered to respond confidently in medical emergencies.
● Day 4 – Visit with Newnan Utilities and Graduation Ceremony with Mayor Brady – Explore the world of Newnan Utilities as they showcase their electric trucks and provide water, energy, and electricity safety tips. Conclude the camp with a special graduation ceremony presented by Mayor Keith Brady.
