The Indiana State Police has offered young people an exciting, up-close look at law enforcement and the criminal justice system through its youth camps.
The camps help students gain respect for themselves and others through programs that demonstrate the rewards of hard work and dedication.
Respect for Law Camps are designed for students entering the 5th and 6th grades this fall. They feature demonstrations by Emergency Response Teams, Bomb Squads, Underwater Search and Rescue Teams and police dogs. The co-ed camps last three days.
Law Camps give students entering the 7th and 8th grades a behind the scenes look at the criminal justice system. These camps last four days and include field trips.
The camps are held at various locations in the state, including Vincennes University.

I have a 12 old son in Washington Township Schools. He will be entering 6th grade this fall. I have only just heard of your program through another mother who’s son is going to attend your program.
I am sure it is to late for 2010 summer camp and our financial constrances would keep us from being able to particapte this year. However, how would I go about getting information for next summer so we don’t miss out. I know my son would like this camp. He has spent the summer home with his Grandmother. So when you have details down the road for next year may I have information so I can get him register and work toward paying for the camp before the camp starts. Any info would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ginny Jenkins
