Cetronia Ambulance Corps personnel instructed the youngsters in basic first aid and CPR, as well as providing restroom facilities in their headquarters at 4300 Broadway.
Each day started with physical fitness activities before the presentations.
Participants were awarded a real wooden nickel for correctly answering questions, participating in activities and becoming acquainted with their fellow attendees.
On their final day, the kids shared the information they learned about each other. This was designed to make new friends and to understand the value of creating relationships.
