Fridley Community Education

The Child and Babysitting Safety (CABS) program from the American Safety and Health Institute gives everything you need to know for safe and successful babysitting. The YouTube “vlogger” style presentation of the video brings a youthful and high-energy spirit to the program content, and the colorful magazine format of the student book makes learning fun. From getting started with your business, to working with parents and children, to key safety, caregiving, and first aid tips, CABS will help set you up for babysitting success. Students must be present for the entire class and complete achievement of the core learning objectives to receive certification valid for two years. Students attend this class independently and should come prepared with a notebook and pen.

The Drone Maker Engineering Camp offers an exciting, hands-on experience that blends theory with practical application. Perfect for beginners, this camp invites students to work in teams of three to explore the world of drones, the principles of flight, and their real-world uses. Each day, students will design and engineer drones to complete thrilling missions—such as package delivery, fire fighting, and medical rescues. This camp fosters creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, giving campers the chance to experience the future of technology while having fun!
