Fifth and sixth grade students from area schools were able to experience Camp 911 again this year during Bay Ambulance’s 23rd annual event. The program is a free two-day camp which Director Gary Wadaga noted has three goals, to teach injury prevention, CPR and bleeding control techniques, and to try to capture interest at an early age in the emergency services field to potentially use as a career field or be a volunteer. “We receive donations from local organizations and agencies to help underwrite the costs,” said Bay Ambulance Director Gary Wadaga. “We had a lot of great donations from local businesses and  community members.” To read more, subscribe to the L’Anse Sentinel online, or buy a print copy at our local retailers.
