What is Safety Town?

Safety Town is a one-week summer program (2 hours per day) designed to teach young children about a variety of important safety topics in a fun, structured environment.

Who is eligible to attend?

Safety Town is open to children who are 5 or 6 years old.
If your child turns 5 or 6 at any point during their session, they are eligible to participate.

You do not need to live in Guilford County to attend.

Can my child attend more than one session?

No. Each child may attend one session per summer.

This allows more families the opportunity to participate, as sessions fill quickly each year.

If your child attends at age 5, they are welcome to return the following summer at age 6.

Can my child attend at both ages 5 and 6?

Yes—and we encourage it. Many children benefit from attending the program both years, just not multiple times in the same summer.

When and how do we register?

  • Ambassador Registration: Opens February 1
  • General Registration: Opens February 15

All registrations are completed online.

Ambassadors (early registration) may switch sessions prior to the start of camp, if space is available.
All other registrations are final and non-transferable.

Sessions fill quickly. How can I improve my chances?

  • Register as early as possible (first come, first served)
  • Consider becoming an Ambassador for early access to registration

Morning sessions, in particular, tend to fill very quickly.

Do parents need to stay?

Parents are required to stay only on the first day for registration and orientation.

Important program information will be shared during that time.

What volunteer opportunities are available?

Safety Town relies heavily on student volunteers.

General requirements include:

  • At least 12 years old
  • Able to commit to an entire session (Monday–Friday)
  • Demonstrates responsibility and a positive attitude

Volunteers may apply for multiple sessions, but must be able to attend all days for each session selected.

How can I make a donation?

Safety Town is a non-profit program supported by registrations and donations.

Donations can be mailed to:
Safety Town, Inc.
P.O. Box 38653
