The event is designed to teach school-aged children about general safety, including sessions related to safety related to bicycles, ATVs, animals, insects, the sun, water, first aid and more.

There will also be child fingerprinting and a bike rodeo, in which participants will receive a free helmet, which will be fitted on site.
