SUMMARY:Free Babysitting Class "Safe Sitter"
DESCRIPTION:Copper Shores Community Health Foundation is hosting Safe Sitter Essentials with CPR on February 21 and 22\, 2026\, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District CTE Training Center in Ontonagon. This two-day training is offered at no cost\, including lunch each day and is open to all Copper Country students in sixth through eighth grade. \n  \n“It’s not just about babysitting; it’s about being trusted\, learning independence and gaining skills you can use in everyday life\,” said Heather Johnson\, Safe Sitter instructor. “Taking this course is a great way for young people to learn the skills and confidence needed to care for children safely and responsibly.” \n  \nThe class teaches important skills like what to do in an emergency\, how to manage behavior\, how to care for infants and children and even how to navigate tricky situations. Students learn and practice basic first aid\, CPR skills\, and how to help a choking infant and child. \n  \n“The course also emphasizes responsibility\, professionalism and communication with families\, which are valuable life skills that extend beyond babysitting\,” said Johnson. \n  \nSafe Sitter is free to attend\, but registration is required as seats are limited. Space is limited and we do expect this class to be full. Sign up for Safe Sitter by visiting coppershores.org. Registration closes on Wednesday\, February 18\, 2026.

Riders who advance will join a stacked field competing for cash prizes ($1k Best Stomp\, $2k for Top Male\, and $2k for Top Female) with features designed for flow and speed\, and one of the most electric snowboard event crowds in the Midwest. \n\nJibba Jabba’s main event is on Saturday\, Feb. 14 at 6 p.m. The qualifier will run on a lower-consequence feature that will stay on the course all weekend. After Friday night\, the course will be built up and made more challenging for the pro show\, with added features and increased difficult Jibba Jabba takes place on Huron Street next to Visit Keweenaw’s Welcome Center and is a collaboration between Visit Keweenaw\, the City of Houghton\, and Minne Farms (Jenn + Dustin Reed). \n\nAttendees can expect stadium-style energy with people surrounding the snowboard course from all sides. Riders perform only feet away from the sidelines\, allowing you to feel the excitement. \n\nFriday night will still deliver the classic Jibba Jabba experience\, giving people two nights of snowboard insanity and impressive feats of athleticism.
