The Indiana Sheriffs’ Association Youth Leadership Camp is a program provided by the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association for boys and girls who have the completed seventh or eighth grade in school and are interested in learning more about a possible career in law enforcement. The camp provides a very meaningful experience and relationship with other campers from throughout the state. Sheriffs and department personnel serve as counselors and instructors at the camp.
The annual Indiana Sheriffs’ Association Youth Leadership Camp will consist of two sessions again this year. The first session will be held June 25-28 for the Northern half of the state at Pine Creek Camp in Pine Village, Indiana (Warren County). The second session will be held July 9-11 at Waycross Episcopal Camp in Morgantown, Indiana (Brown County).
Any boy or girl in the seventh or eighth grade of school interested in attending the camp should contact their school counselor or the local Sheriff’s Office to obtain an application for the camp. In the past, local businesses and civic organizations have provided the registration fee to sponsor students attending camp. This usually can be arranged by the sheriff making contact with local businesses or civic organizations informing them of how many students he has within the county desiring to attend the camp. For more information, contact your local Sheriff’s Office or the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association office.
