Twelve children from Orleans County will attend the NYS Sheriffs Association Summer Camp this year.
Located on Keuka Lake in Yates County, the Sheriffs Summer Camp is designed to provided a solid recreational program combined with the development of a sense of good citizenship. The camp has been in operation since the mid 1970s and is supported by the NYSSA’s honorary members through their contributions and annual dues. This year, as in the past, the camp will accommodate hundreds of deserving children from across New York State June 24 through June 30. Throughout their week-long stay, these children observe special exhibits and demonstrations presented by Sheriff’s deputies and other law enforcement personnel from across the state. Included are D.A.R.E. presentations, boat and bicycle safety programs, law enforcement equipment and technical demonstrations, pistol and archery competitions, and a talent show.
Upon completion of their stay, all campers are awarded a diploma for their participation in a program of Good Citizenship and Law Enforcement Studies.
