Rescue Camp for Kids—2023

Submitted by Gail and Debbie Rice

Do not miss the upcoming Rescue Camps for Kids in 2023 at both VAVRS Rescue College and First Responder Virginia Convention!

At the camps, kids between the ages of 8-16 are introduced to the field of Public Safety and volunteerism. The camps allow the strong volunteer Public Safety values established by the members of VAVRS to be carried on. Activities vary by camp and include rappelling, Search & Rescue, CPR, ropes and knots, EMS moulage, first aid skills, back boarding, SCUBA diving, obstacle courses, firefighting skills and K-9 demonstration. Rescue Camp Coordinators add new activities each year.
