Safety Town Returns to Forsyth County

This summer children will have the opportunity to learn important safety tips through the Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department’s 'Safety Town' camps.

Safety Town is a nationally recognized pre-school safety program teaching 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds about safety, including fire safety, playground safety, poison safety, stranger danger, bus safety and more.

Children will also learn traffic safety while driving kid carts through a child-size “Safety Town Village.”

“Our Safety Town camps are always very popular, and we are excited to be able to hold them this year in one of our new recreation centers,” said Director of Parks and Recreation Jerry Kinsey said.

The Safety Town camps begins next week at the county’s new which opened in February.

The camps run Monday through Friday and participants can choose from a 9 a.m. to noon session or a 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. session. Parents are invited to attend a graduation ceremony held on the last day of each session.

The cost of each session is $80.
