The camp encourages the development of recreation and social skills and enhances self-confidence and educational growth through the participation in a variety of activities and we are happy to be a part of this. For many years, we held a fishing derby for the kids and this year we decided to mix it up and display some of the police equipment we thought the children would enjoy learning about. We enjoy having lunch and interacting with the children.
