Description
Program Cost: $75
Do you help care for younger siblings—or dream of working with children someday? This camp is designed for those who want real-world skills for caring for children, including activity planning (songs, stories, crafts, movement, and play), child-friendly communication strategies, and guidance on common emergencies. Best of all, participants will earn American Heart Association CPR & First Aid certification, giving them a strong foundation for early childhood career pathways.
For students with food allergies, we recommend that they bring their own lunch, as we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate all allergies.

If a parent or guardian has signed off on the registration form, students may drive themselves. However, all students should sign in each day with their instructors.
