Youth Safety Camp <br />Residents in neighborhoods throughout Lino <br />Lakes were asked to lock their doors, turn <br />on outside lights, and spend the evening <br />outside with neighbors, police, firefighters, <br />ambulance personnel and Department of <br />Correction personnel. <br />Thirty -six Lino Lakes neighborhoods hosted <br />a variety of special events, such as block <br />parties, cookouts, parades and a poster <br />contest. <br />The 2005 Youth Safety Camp was the 12th annual <br />one, and the fact it was full to capacity is a tribute <br />to its ongoing popularity. The program is intended <br />for children entering 4th grade. This past year we <br />once again offered it to a full limit of 150 campers. <br />Conducting the camp is a joint effort between <br />Police, Fire and Parks and Recreation <br />Departments. Held the second Thursday in <br />August, the program increases a child's knowledge <br />and awareness of all aspects of safety, while <br />having a fun experience. The subject matter <br />covered at the camp includes bike safety, fire <br />safety, drug safety, water safety, personal safety, electrical safety, outdoor safety, and first -aid. <br />The camp is set in an informative, but fun and exciting atmosphere. The camp fee of $10.00 <br />includes lunch, shirt, special giveaways and an awards ceremony at the end of the day. <br />Volunteer Program <br />The program was designed to create <br />volunteer opportunities for citizens <br />who want to give their time and <br />talents to the community and the <br />police department.
