2023 Grand Lake Camp Bandage

Grand Lake Camp Bandage Returns on June 3rd, 2023 from noon-4 pm at Grand Lake RV Resort.

Free and open to the public, the sixth annual safety camp and kids’ fun fair teaches children of all ages how to be safe in their daily lives.

A number of groups and organizations will be on hand during the event to educate children and demonstrate a wide variety of safety topics to them in a fun and diverse environment.

During Camp Bandage, children will learn about safe outdoor recreation, water safety, health, first aid, weather, fire safety, injury and substance abuse prevention, and more. They will also have the opportunity to meet and interact with first responders from the Grand Lake area, including fire, police and EMTs, as well as explore helicopters, fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, patrol boats, cranes, and a fire boat.

In addition to the many safety classes, demonstrations, and hands-on activities, the fun will also include karaoke, dancing, and games.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, everything is free at Camp Bandage – Grand Lake, including admission, prizes, hot dogs, and drinks. T-shirts will be given away to the first 500 children who arrive at Camp Bandage.

“A community outreach project of this magnitude fits right in with our existing substance abuse prevention program, GaDuGi,” said Jennifer Hinson, Grand Nation executive director.

“For instance, we’re trying to promote Responsible Recreation on the lake. Camp Bandage – Grand Lake teaches kids about being safe on the water, as well as being safe at home. It’s an obvious platform where we could impact hundreds of kids in one day. This was an opportunity we didn’t want to pass up.”

Camp Bandage – Grand Lake will once again be hosted by Grand Lake RV Resort at 31527 South 4510 Road, Afton, Okla., on Duck Creek.

“Camp Bandage is an awesome safety program for kids with lots of activities for learning,” said Dianna McIntyre, owner and operator of Grand Lake RV Resort. “We thoroughly enjoy it and think it’s a wonderful experience.”
