Water & Wheels Safety

3 – 2 – 1 . . . It’s Summertime! When you think of your favorite summer activities as a kid many adults remember spending time at a pool, playing at a playground, or riding a bike. For children today, summer is still a favorite time of year, but we also know that it comes with an increased risk for unintentional injury. Often referred to as the “100 deadliest days of summer,” the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day is when the number of unintentional injuries to children is the highest. Start summer off with safety and fun on June 9, 2026 at Clover Adventure Camp: Water & Wheels Safety.
