It's a big step for kids to start spending time at home by themselves. Urbana Park District wants to get those kids started off on the right path and learn to be "Safe@Home."
"Safe@Home" is designed for people ages 9 - 13 who have expressed an interest in staying home. Participants learn how to practice safe habits, how to prevent unsafe situations, and what to do when faced with dangers such as power failures or weather emergencies. They will also learn about the first aid chart so they can appropriately respond in injuries and illness.
The next class is August 6, from 5 - 6:30 p.m., at Phillips Recreation Center. Register by July 23, for an Early Bird discount - $12 for residents and $19 for non-residents.

All kids ages 9 - 13 are invited take park in "Safe@Home!"
Safe@Home
Safe@Home is ideal for kids who have expressed interest in assuming the responsibility of staying home alone. Participants learn how to practice safe habits, how to prevent unsafe situations, and what to do when faced with dangers such as power failures or weather emergencies. Students are also introduced to the Safe Sitter® First Aid Chart and learn a system to help them assess and respond to injuries and illnesses. The program is designed to prepare students for their first steps towards independence. Email Katie Bickers at kmbickers@urbanaparks.org for more information.
