Safety Town is a five-day-long, half-day summer camp for children ages five and six. Campers engage in experiences around different safety topics throughout the week, with demonstrations, music, movement, STEAM activities, and by visiting the Safety Town traffic course and 911 practice lab daily.
Camper registration is now open. Registration will remain open until filled, so make sure to register early. Campers will need a signed permission by a parent/guardian to complete their registration. Return your forms to the Stayton Public Library to complete your registration.
