The Philomath Youth Activities Club’s Safety Town program will run Aug. 18-22, the organization announced.
Registration is currently underway with the form available on the PYAC website. Organizers have set the registration deadline for June 6. The fee, which includes a T-shirt, is $50 per child. Contact PYAC for scholarship information.
The summer program targets Philomath School District children who will be entering kindergarten this fall and takes place at Clemens Primary School. Each day’s activities run from 12:30-3 p.m. A graduation ceremony will be held at 2:30 p.m. on the last day.
Under the guidance of a teacher, law-enforcement officer and teen instructors, children are introduced to safety concepts. They will practice being safe pedestrians and drivers of pedal cars in a miniature town. Songs, art projects, videos, a bus field trip and various presentations complete the experience.
Along with bike and pedestrian safety, other topics covered include railroad safety, interaction with strangers, and safety involving pets, guns, playgrounds, boats and water, and fire.
