KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Not all summer camps happen out in the woods, involve knot-tying and canoeing and last two weeks.
If you were downtown Tuesday and you saw the city’s fire trucks police cars and ambulances converging near the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, it wasn’t an emergency. It was “Camp 911.”
Life EMS has been offering the free one-day summer camp programs for well over a decade.
Jonathon Haas said they educate children on all sorts of safety issues in a fun hands-on way.
They teach about 911, basic first aid and CPR. They teach them about boating safety, gun safety, bike safety and do it all with real police, real fire and real EMTs on hand to demonstrate.
He says they plan four more this summer.
Its all free. Parents just have to go online and sign up.
