A news release by Owens Community College

PERRYSBURG TOWNSHIP, OH - Area youth ages 8 through 17 will have the opportunity to place themselves in shoes of first responders and explore the areas of emergency medical service, law enforcement and fire service as Owens Community College's Center for Emergency Preparedness offers a new Heroes Youth Camp Program, June 14-16 and 21-23.

The new Heroes Youth Camp Program will be offered through Owens' Workforce and Community Services at the College's Center for Emergency Preparedness. Owens' Toledo-area Campus is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township.

"Owens Community College is excited to provide a continuing education program that brings emergency medical service, law enforcement and fire service alive through fun, hands-on learning activities that are in a controlled, safe environment," said Michael Cornell, Owens Director of the Center for Emergency Preparedness. "Attendees will have the opportunity of a lifetime to experience the first responders' profession and how these individuals go about saving and protecting people's lives on a daily basis."

The College will offer two separate age-appropriate class sections as part of the new continuing education programming in June. The first class section will explore basic first aid/CPR, introduce attendees to an air ambulance and discuss helmet prevention safety. Campus instruction will also include K-9 demonstrations, firearm safety and crime prevention, as well as evacuation steps to take in a house fire emergency. Additionally, camp participants will be introduced to police cars, fire trucks and hose lines. The first class is for ages 8 through 12 and will occur June 14-16 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. A second class for the same age group will take place June 21-23 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.

The second class section is for ages 13 through 17 and will occur June 14-16 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. A second class for ages 13 through 17 will take place June 21-23 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. The second class section will feature similar topics and activities as the younger age group as well as target practice using non-firearm soft trainers. In addition, attendees will experience a mock bank robbery where they will ride along with a SWAT team, attack a structure fire inside the College's virtual fire training system, repel off an indoor training tower and use the Jaws of Life to rescue a simulated victim trapped inside a vehicle.
