Bright Futures Academy is a week-long camp-style program for children aged 9-14, aligned with the Indiana Core Knowledge and Competencies for Early Childhood Educators. Within this academy, students will work through the Safe SitterⓇ curriculum, which includes child care techniques, safety, infant/child CPR, choking rescue, injury management, and business skills. In this week-long summer camp, participants will complete the 10-hour Safe SitterⓇ Expanded curriculum, receive a nationally recognized certification in First Aid and CPR, engage in hands-on activities, and put their knowledge and theory into practice through hands-on classroom exploration. Additionally, students will engage in career exploration within the field of ECE and explore opportunities available within the high school CTE and apprenticeship programs.
