Heimlich Heroes™ is a national nonprofit that teaches kids how to prevent, recognize, and respond to a choking emergency. The organization says their free program is a fun activity for summer camps.
The training-in-a-box program provides all the materials, including 42" training dolls for hands-on practice. It takes about an hour to run the program and it’s designed for kids ages 7-14.
“Our program takes a scary event and makes it compelling to learn about,” said program manager, Terri Huntington. “The program can be taught anywhere and is a perfect blend of education, engagement and fun for summer camps.”
Heimlich Heroes’ interactive program aims to eliminate preventable choking deaths and the organization encourages summer camps to train their students.
