Camp Cadet offers an immersive, police-oriented summer experience for both boys and girls. The week-long camp will be supervised by state and local law enforcement officers, providing a safe and controlled environment for the participants.
The summer camp aims to give attendees a glimpse into various facets of law enforcement. It features presentations from different law enforcement departments such as the bomb squad, Special Emergency Response Team (SERT), patrol, K-9 unit, aviation, FBI, and computer crimes division.
In addition to law enforcement-related activities, Camp Cadet also presents non-law enforcement presentations, which have previously covered water rescue operations and fire services. Attendees will also get the opportunity to participate in a variety of other activities including marksmanship, swimming, horseback riding, volleyball, and kickball.
Application forms for Camp Cadet can be found online at www.pacampcadettroopl.com. They are also available on the Camp Cadet Troop L Alumni Facebook page, and at any of the Troop L stations, including Reading, Hamburg, Jonestown, Frackville, and Schuylkill Haven.

This summer experience provides young individuals a unique chance to understand the workings of law enforcement agencies, engage in various recreational activities, and learn valuable life skills. The program encourages the youth of Berks, Lebanon, and Schuylkill counties to consider potential careers in law enforcement while enjoying a fulfilling summer experience.
