For the third summer, we partnered with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation for Camp Save-A-Life. Over 6 weeks, Red Cross counselors taught preparedness and lifesaving skills to more than 2,500 youth ages 4-12 at day camps in neighborhood parks, recreation centers and playgrounds throughout the City.

Kids ages 4-8 learned about fire safety with Pedro the Penguin, while ages 10-12 practiced hands-only CPR and learned Red Cross Ready skills. All ages learned about water safety with Longfellow’s WHALE Tales (Water Habits Are Learned Early).

Empowering the children to bring the skills they're learning home to their families is an important part of the program.

"Kids do have a lot of power because they can influence the adults in their lives. We teach them to get your grown-ups involved. You always have the power to let people know how they can be safer,” shared team lead summer counselor Lucille Alexander.
