What is “Kids For KidsKamp Out to Stamp Out Prejudices”? • We have selected this time to also kick off Fire Prevention Week. As part of our proposal, we would like to include a bonfire near the “Kamp” site at the end of the evening as a culminating event which includes a concert from Camp Fire USA sponsors. • We are proposing that a local fire department from the Jackson, New Jersey area be in attendance to supervise the safety of the bonfire and fireworks activities. • We are also proposing that the fire department provides a presentation to the “Kampers”, prior to the fireworks and bonfire, about the importance of fire safety and the practicing of emergency exit plans with their families.

Six Flags Should Hold The “Kids For Kids Kamp Out to Stamp Out Prejudices” Because… • The event will capitalize on a target market that Six Flags already naturally appeals to (8-18 year old individuals). • The Six Flags brand will become more associated with embracing diversity by assisting with building healthy relationships of today’s youth by providing an environment conducive to the acceptance of all, no matter their race, creed, color, religious beliefs, sexual preference or gender to help ensure a better future for our children. • The event will pave the way for similar events to be held at all Six Flags Great Adventure locations throughout the nation, becoming an excellent long-term investment for both high attendance and corporate social responsibility.
