Summer Safety Tips

At Little Spuds Pediatrics, we know how much families across Clark County—from Vancouver and Camas to Ridgefield, Battle Ground, Woodland, and beyond—love taking advantage of our beautiful lakes, rivers, and sunny trails each summer. But we also know how quickly a fun day can turn into an urgent situation.

That’s why we created this essential guide to summer safety. In it, you’ll find practical tips on preventing drowning at local lakes and backyard pools, protecting kids from sunburn and heat exhaustion, keeping little ones safe around fireworks and open windows, and making sure every bike ride through Southwest Washington’s neighborhoods starts with a properly fitted helmet.

Our mobile pediatric urgent care team is here to keep your family healthy all summer long—delivering expert, compassionate care right to your doorstep when you need it most.

Read on to learn how to keep your kids safe, happy, and enjoying every moment this season.
