Safety Town
Safety Town is a fun summer program teaching your child about SAFETY! We have hands-on learning experiences on numerous safety topics such as:
- • Fire & water safety
- • Gun & pedestrian safety
- • Traffic signs & signals
- • Bus, train safety, and so much more!
Learning is done indoors & outdoors, through crafts & song, as well as by hands-on demonstrations from local community members like the Fargo Police & Fire Department, Sanford Paramedics, SAFEKids, and many more.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What if my child isn’t going into Kindergarten? We limit enrollment to incoming Kindergarten children. The lessons are specifically developed for this age group and they are the ones that will benefit the most from them. Enrolling a child that is too young or too old will deprive the target age group from these safety lessons. Thank you for understanding!
What if we can no longer attend Safety Town? If this happens, contact fargosafetytown@gmail.com as soon as possible. Please note that the registration fee is non-refundable but we will do our best to place your child in a different session.
Who teaches Safety Town? We have an amazing group of local educators that love teaching & caring for children; many have been teaching at Safety Town for several years!
What if my child has health issues? Please indicate on the registration form any health conditions your child has that the teachers should know about. This could include allergies, medication, epilepsy, any behavior plans.
What is the cost of Safety Town? The total cost is $110.
What should my child wear or bring? Please have your child wear tennis shoes as we will be outside daily basis as well as riding bikes. Students will need to bring their helmets on certain days. *NOTE: Sunscreen & lotions are to be applied at home by a caregiver.
