ISP summer youth camp schedule set

PUTNAMVILLE -- The 2015 Indiana State Police summer youth camps will soon be in session.

The Indiana State Police summer youth camps are for students entering grades 5-12. Students annually interact with peers who have expressed common interests in law enforcement.

Campers learn teamwork skills while gaining self-confidence. The Indiana State Police camps and programs teach students that discipline is a prerequisite in gaining self-respect, and self-respect is the first step in gaining the respect of others.

Camps are held at colleges and universities around the state and offer campers a unique glimpse of campus life. Each program includes well-balanced meals and comfortable sleeping facilities.

Camp staffs are hand-picked, responsible law enforcement personnel who have committed themselves to preparing today's youth for their future.
