Each year, Bay Ambulance hosts Camp 911, an educational program tailored for fifth and
sixth-grade students from local schools. This year marked the 25th annual event, which once again provided children with an engaging and practical introduction to emergency
services. The program is conducted over two days and allows participants to
immerse themselves in hands-on activities, demonstrations, and learning experiences designed to inspire and inform. Director Gary Wadaga explained that the camp serves three vital purposes: educating participants on injury prevention techniques, teaching essential life-saving skills such as CPR and bleeding control methods, and sparking early interest in emergency service careers or volunteer opportunities.
