From staff reports
The Pennsylvania State Police in Troop E, along with the Erie Kiwanis Club, announce online registration for the Troop E Camp Cadet program is now open at www.pacampcadet.com.
Held at Allegheny College in Meadville, this year’s event will be held June 17-22.
Camp Cadet is a week-long camp for youth ages 13-15.
The purpose of Camp Cadet is to instill self-discipline, self-respect, and self-esteem while teaching paramilitary discipline and courtesy.
Cadets participate in a wide variety of instructional sessions including radar, fingerprinting, forensics, drug prevention, building searches, and emergency response. Activities include an obstacle course and platoon competitions with an emphasis on physical fitness.
While there is no set fee for camp, applicants are required to participate in a fundraiser to offset their costs. Interested boys and girls must register online by April 30.
