A huge THANK YOU to the City of Highland Fire Department and the Highland, IL Police Department for welcoming Playground Summer Camp for our Lights, Sirens, Action! day! 🚓🚒🚑

Our campers had an amazing time touring the vehicles, learning important safety tips, trying on firefighter gear, spraying the fire hose, and watching the K-9 demonstration. Experiences like these help our children learn about the important role our first responders play in keeping our community safe.

We are so grateful for your time, patience, and dedication to making this day both educational and fun for our campers!

If your child missed out on the fun, there's still time to join us! Registration for our July Playground session is open now.
