First Responder Camp

Junior First Responder Camp

Does your child (age 13-16) want to learn about saving lives and have an interest in learning more about firefighting, emergency medical services (EMS) or law enforcement?

Firefighters, EMS providers and law enforcement professionals are the first responders that work together to help save lives every day.

HACC is hosting fun, interactive and educational first responder camp in summer 2025! During the four-day camp, students will learn from professionals who work and train as first responders in our community!
