radKIDS Safety Education Camps (Age 3-12) $135
radKIDS® puts the safety of kids in their own hands by SHOWING them how to be safe, not just by TELLING them what to do. Other safety programs give children general guidance rules, show videos, or simply "talk" to the children. radKIDS Lake Norman is dedicated to providing our children with a hands-on, activity-based, physical skill development program. It empowers children with instinctual options they need to recognize, avoid, and if necessary, respond to potential danger. When a child is approached or grabbed by a stranger, bullied, or touched inappropriately, the response needs to be immediate, instinctual, and absolute. When empowered with realistic and instinctive skills to escape violence and/or harm, a radKID's mindset turns from "HELP ME, HELP ME!" to "YOU WILL NOT HURT ME!"
