Being a firefighter involves a whole lot of running, campers at Springhill Lake Recreation Center’s Summer Fun program learned on July 28. Greenbelt firefighters and police came to camp with demonstrations and challenges.
With the firefighters, campers tried running with the hose and putting out a demonstration fire, and enjoyed learning about the trucks. With the police they tried exercises, sat in the front seat of a squad car and tried on the heavy equipment.
This is the first year for the free camp, which is co-sponsored by Greenbelt Recreation and Boys and Girls Club of America. The 40 slots filled up quickly, Greenbelt Recreation reported. The campers, ages 6 to 12, are attending half-days for eight weeks, starting on June 28. Lunch is provided by Prince George’s County Public Schools.
