Check out Retro Bill’s performance for more than 100 Ransburg YMCA summer campers on YouTube.com.

Retro Bill performs for more than 100 YMCA summer campers Thursday, June 25, 2009, at the Ransburg YMCA in Indianapolis, Ind.

Summer campers at the Ransburg YMCA in Indianapolis will learn some great tips about keeping themselves safe on the Internet starting Thursday when Bright House Networks with partner Net Literacy of Indiana will begin teaching an Internet safety course to children ages 9 through 11.  Bright House Networks is also providing two camp scholarships this summer for Computer Camp at the Ransburg YMCA and is also supporting the Ransburg facility’s “Strong Kids Campaign” by awarding a $1,500 educational scholarship to help less-fortunate children attend YMCA camps in the future.

The Internet Safety Course this week starts at 9:30 a.m. inside the computer lab of the Ransburg YMCA at 501 N. Shortridge Road in Indianapolis. After the course and lunch, entertainer Retro Bill will bring his special message of personal safety to nearly 100 YMCA campers, their families and YMCA staff during an all-camp convocation. Retro Bill performs in front of more than 1 million school-age children each year, teaching them about safety, self esteem and character. He’s got a pretty cool Web site and he’s been in some really cool places. Retro Bill has a nationally televised program and is featured on the Bright House Networks cable TV system. Bright House Networks is paying for Retro Bill to fly into Indianapolis and speak to all of the Ransburg YMCA summer campers, their parents and the Y staff from 1-2 p.m. Thursday.
