CAMPER REGISTRATION 2025
Evanston Safety Town was founded in 1977 by the Evanston/Skokie District Council of PTAs. It is now an Illinois not-for-profit corporation in the process of getting 501c3 status with the federal government.
​
It is a summer day camp program teaching basic safety rules to 4-7 year olds. If you have an 8 year old who would benefit and wasn't able to attend during the pandemic, please register him/her as well. It has been our experience that children under 4 do not benefit from the program so age 4 by June 1, please.
​​
Some of the topics covered at camp:​
-
Crossing the street, riding a bike, swimming, fire prevention, pet safety and more.
-
Police and Fire Department representatives visit.
-
Bike safety is presented by a local store owner.
​​​
See the "About Us" page for the curriculum for all the topics covered at camp.
​​​
Teen volunteers are an important part of the program as they work with campers in small groups of 2-3 to instruct and encourage. Supervision is provided by a camp leader with education experience and emergency training and a paid teen assistant.
​​​
Please mention the program to your friends and neighbors. We are happy to seat groups together.
