safety camp 1Jefferson area children entering kindergarten this upcoming school year were invited to the Greene County Community Center for a three day safety camp event.

Parks and Recreation Director Vicky Lautner talks about the program and why she felt it’s important for children to know about safety.

“The young kids are going to be starting at school this year and we felt that it was important to through some of the hazards that they could run into when they start at school.  Just a variety of things that could possibly help them as they start to school.”

Some of the activities and discussions include the importance of bus, bicycle and pool safety along with how to avoid strangers.

The Jefferson Elks Lodge sponsored the free event.
