Camp Cadet, a week-long summer camp for youth ages 12 to 15 years old from Berks, Lebanon, and Schuylkill counties, is taking applications for this summer. The camp week is Aug. 12-19.

This program focuses on the importance of integrity, respect, teamwork, discipline and education on different types of law enforcement. Camp Cadet provides a positive growth experience within the framework of a “mini police academy” structure.

During the week campers compete in challenges that require them to work together in teams while practicing problem solving skills and communication. Other activities include horseback riding/handling, shooting, scuba diving, sports, drill instruction and physical activity.

All activities are supervised by a counseling staff of state police and local police officers. Counselors live at the camp with the cadets.

Camp Cadet has a $200 non-refundable registration fee, payable when accepted for camp.

Applications can be picked up at any state police barracks or most municipal police departments in Berks, Lebanon, and Schuylkill counties.

Application and $10 application fee must be returned no later than May 31 to: Camp Cadet, P.O. Box 6845. Wyomissing, PA 19610-0845.
