Marshall County Sheriff Matt Hassel invites children to take part in the 2017 Law Enforcement Youth Camp June 23-25 at the Potowatomi Wildlife Park in Tippecanoe.
Attendees will learn what’s it’s like to be a law enforcement officer. Several officers from throughout Marshall County will engage young campers in career-oriented classes, leadership skills, obstacle courses, firearms training, marching, and educational displays during the weekend event.
The Elkhart City Police Department’s Bomb Squad will host a demonstration.
Marshall County Sheriff’s Deputy Ryan Hollopeter said that kids will learn integrity, discipline and respect when attending this camp.
The Law Enforcement Youth Camp is free. Food for the event is being donated and the hands to prepare it will come from volunteers. Adults are also welcome to see what the students are learning.
Sheriff Hassel said 50 children are already signed up and more are welcome. Applications are available at the sheriff’s department and on the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department’s Facebook page.
