| Water Safety |
- PreK – 2nd: Learn basic water safety tips from Buddy the Beaver. The younger crowd loves this puppet show!
- 2nd – 4th: Some newly-discovered dinosaurs teach us about how to be safe around the water. The Sinkasaur, Buddysauras Rex, and Leapadactyl went extinct because they didn’t know the rules!
- 3rd-5th: Basic Water Safety program that uses LOTS of audience participation and a little bit of science to teach water safety.
- Middle – High School: A more serious look at decisions and consequences, peer pressure, alcohol use, etc. that all contributed to real life drownings.
