Babies don't need the fanciest toys to learn and grow.
They need you.
Talking. Reading. Playing. Making silly faces. Celebrating every new milestone. Those everyday moments help build your baby's confidence, curiosity, and connection with you.
That's why Play & Development is one of the five hands-on stations at Dad Skills Camp.
You'll also learn:
🏈 The Fundamentals of newborn care
🛡 Baby safety and car seats
🍼 Feeding and nutrition
🤝 Resources, teamwork, and support for your growing family
Whether you're expecting your first baby or already have a little one at home, Dad Skills Camp is open to dads from Delaware County and surrounding communities. We'd love to help you build the skills and confidence to be the dad your baby already knows you can be.
August 22, 10am-1pm
Free to attend

Did you know, tuberculosis (TB) cases continue to be identified in many communities?
This is a reminder that TB is a preventable and treatable infectious illness, remaining a top public health concern globally. It can take years for TB symptoms to occur, but when they do, they can include persistent cough, fever, night sweats, and unexplained weight loss.
According to the CDC:
👉 13 million people in the U.S. have inactive TB and many don't know it.
👉 1 in 10 people with inactive TB will develop active TB in their lifetime
👉 Inactive TB can be treated to prevent active TB
👉 People at higher risk are those who were born or frequently travel to countries where TB is common, those with weaker immune systems, those living with a case of TB, or those who work/live in a location where TB is more likely to spread.
👉 If you are at increased risk, talk to your healthcare provider about TB testing to protect yourself, your family and friends, and your community.
