The 2001 Safety School will be held at Camp Olympia from May 10 through May 19. For teens, it is an opportunity to receive lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor training to help obtain summer employment. Canoeing, sailing and kayaking courses also appeal to the younger set and to Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and their troop leaders. Adults, including teachers, safety trainers and parents, find it a good time to renew their CPR and first aid skills so they are better prepared to protect those in their care. The use of the Automated External Defrillators have proved to be a popular course.
Fees vary with the courses taken.
Discounts are offered to those taking multiple courses. For more information, or to receive a registration form, call Karne Pounds at 713.313.1603.
