What to Expect
Daily Activities
Leadership training, core values, and team building sit at the center of the program. Obstacle courses, high-rope confidence courses, and other team-building activities are built into the daily schedule.
Patrol Staff
Patrol employees serving as camp staff lead by example — taking part in daily mentorship, fitness activities, team building, organized sports, and presentations. Staff join in all activities and eat meals alongside the youth.
Why It Matters
The program aims to build a stronger bond between area youth, law enforcement, and the wider community. It also gives officers the chance to understand the viewpoints of young people — which improves how both sides interact in future.
