Summer Youth Program Trainings & Events
Rookie Boot Camp
Rookie Boot Camp aims to prepare new counselors and employees for their roles in ensuring a safe, fun, and enriching experience for campers and others involved in summer activities. Topics include an introduction to camp culture, training within policies, child development, behavior management, activity planning, and team building with leadership development.
CPR Training
CPR is a vital skill that significantly impacts survival outcomes in cardiac emergencies. Immediate and effective application of CPR, along with the use of an AED, can save lives. Regular training ensures readiness to respond effectively in emergencies. This training will go through key steps and considerations for CPR such as scene safety and minimizing interruptions. All CPR Training will take place at Marion County Commission on Youth. As a reminder, there is an online course that must be completed before attending the in-person portion to complete your CPR certification.

MCCOY will be hosting Summer Learning Day at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis on June 24, 2026.
