Our Summer Program
The largest program at Safety Town is the Summer Program. During the Safety Town Summer Program, five & six year olds attend a week long program taught by the Naperville Police and Fire Departments, I-Search, Operation Lifesaver, and other community groups in addition to the NJWC volunteers. The program introduces pedestrian, bike, fire, railroad, bus, animal, water, and personal safety. During the week, the children have the opportunity to make real-time 911 calls, participate in a fire evacuation drill and practice pedestrian safety and traffic hand signals as they ride special Safety Town vehicles on the streets of Safety Town. Each summer over 1,700 children graduate from the Safety Town Summer Program.

A bit of history...
In 1978, the Naperville Junior Woman’s Club (NJWC) introduced Naperville to a nationwide program called Safety Town. Thereafter, NJWC coordinated, supervised, and staffed this beneficial program at temporary locations. In 1993, the Naperville Safety Town Commission was formed to provide a permanent location for Safety Town programs. The Safety Town Commission, made up of members of NJWC and other community leaders, brought Naperville together to build Safety Town. Located at the corner of River and Aurora Roads, Safety Town includes a classroom building and a kid-sized town complete with buildings, streets, a fire safety house, railroad crossing and traffic signs and signals. The Safety Town facility was opened in June of 1996.
