Junior Firefighter Camp

Thank you for your interest in the 2026 Owen Sound Jr Firefighter Camp. Due to an overwhelmingly positive response to registration, we are no longer accepting applications for this year.

🔥 Owen Sound Junior Firefighter Camp – Inspiring Tomorrow’s Heroes 🔥

Give your child an experience they’ll never forget! Each spring, Owen Sound Fire and Emergency Services hosts its Junior Firefighter Camp — a unique program designed for Owen Sound students in Grades 5 and 6.

This hands-on learning opportunity introduces young participants to firefighting and community safety. Junior Firefighters will work alongside real firefighters, discovering teamwork, responsibility, and confidence while learning practical life skills.

Throughout the program, participants will:

🚒 Learn how to use fire extinguishers and alarms
📞 Understand 911 dispatch and radio communication
🧯 Try on firefighting gear
🪜 Practice hose handling, ladder safety, and pump operations
⛑️ Gain basic first aid and fire suppression skills

Each Junior Firefighter receives an official uniform T-shirt to wear during sessions — and best of all, there’s no cost to participate.

Spaces are limited to 30 participants.
