The Forest County Potawatomi Community Health Department teamed up with Education and other departments for the six week  Summer Day Camp. During camp, Community Health Department Staff and Forest County Police Chief, Dan Packard Jr., taught the importance of bike safety and using helmets. Each camper was provided a fitted helmet and promised to be safe while riding their bikes.

As an incentive, a bike was raffled off during the last week of Summer Day Camp. Raffle tickets were awarded to campers for their attendance and participation in Community Health Department Summer Day Camp activities. One winner was selected at random. The Forest County Potawatomi Community Health Department is pleased to announce that Louis Olivas, pictured, won!  Way to Go Louis!

The Forest County Potawatomi Community Health Department collaborates with the Forest County Sheriff’s Department and Forest County Potawatomi Tribal Security to promote bike safety. These partners are giving out tickets to redeem at the FCP C-Stores for ice-cream to Tribal Youth who are seen wearing their bicycle helmets on Tribal Lands.
