Safe Sitter - Must be at least 11 Years of Age 

This course is intended to improve your child’s care skills needed for babysitting. Founded in 1980, Safe Sitter® is the only national nonprofit training program exclusively devoted to preparing young teens to be safe in unsupervised settings, whether babysitting, sibling sitting or home alone.
The Safe Sitter® curriculum is designed exclusively for young teens in grades 6-8, and covers the following areas: safety skills, childcare skills, first aid & rescue skills, and life & business skills. Safe Sitter® courses are instructor-led and interactive, with hands-on demonstrations and skills practice using soft-bodied dolls and medical manikins. Your child will be very prepared to start their babysitting career. Each student completing the course will receive a certificate that verifies this training for caring for small infants and toddlers. The Safe Sitter course has a great deal of information presented in a short period of time. It is important you are available for the entire class.

Hot Wheels Garage - Ages 5-8

Playing with cars is FUN! And it’s beneficial for child development. Playing with toy cars provides an opportunity for the development of social skills and aids in emotional and physical development. During this 5-week session, we will build a variety of tracks, create life-like destinations, and create scenarios such as racing, crashing, oil changes, and more. Some structure will be provided, but participant imagination will be the “driving” force in this program. Participants are invited to bring their favorite Matchbox/Hot Wheels cars & trucks, but there will also be plenty of cars and props available to share. We hope you will plan to join Recreation Coordinator, Andy Kaherl (a real-life race car driver) for this fun-filled creative play program. Each participant will receive a Hot Wheels car on the first day.
