PROGRAM

*NOTE: The four classes that campers attend during the morning are Pedestrian Safety, First Aid, Canoeing, and Swimming.

Legionville is a training center with a definite purpose.  Safety training is emphasized in a manner which is readily accepted and retained by the youngsters. At the end of the week the Minnesota Highway Patrol Safety Officer will give each student an examination covering the school patrol and safety lessons taught while at the training center.  Each youngster who completes the program and passes the examination will receive a  Certificate of Graduation in recognition of completion.

After spending a week at Legionville, our hope is that each camper will return to their community as a dedicated and well-trained school patrol member.
