Registration is now open for Springfield Safety City, a free, interactive summer safety camp designed for children entering first grade. Youth will interact with members of the Springfield Fire Department, Public Works, City Water, Light and Power, Springfield Police Department, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources in a fun daily camp with hands on activities and games centered on safety and learning. This marks the first year Springfield will host Safety City, providing young learners with the knowledge and confidence they need to stay safe at home, at school, and throughout the community. The free camp will take place July 20–24 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and is open to Springfield-area families.
Throughout the week, children will participate in engaging activities and demonstrations covering:
- Fire Safety and Emergencies
- Bike and Pedestrian Safety
- Traffic and Street Awareness
- Utility and Electrical Safety
- Outdoor and Environmental Safety
- How and When to Call 911
The program is free to attend, but registration is required. Space is limited, and families are encouraged to register early to secure a spot for their child.
