Due to safety and health precautions, the 2020 camp has been cancelled this year.  Please revisit this site for information on our 2021 camp.

About the Event
The purpose of the Kiwanis Youth camp is to provide selected high school juniors and seniors, with an interest in a career in law enforcement, an opportunity to explore the various areas of job opportunities in that field. It offers exposure to problems encountered by law enforcement officers on a daily basis and how to handle these situations in a professional manner.

The Washington State Patrol and other police departments provide officers as staff to instruct and be counselors to the students. This gives students a variety of experiences and expertise in other areas of federal, state, county, and local law enforcement.

With each class a close bond is formed and lasting friendships are made. Approximately 80% of the students go on to law enforcement careers.
