About Camp Cadet - July 20 - 26, 2008 About Camp Cadet

Camp Cadet was established in Armstrong County by the Pennsylvania State Police in 1975. During the week-long summer camp, held the last full week in July at Lenape Technical School, county youths, ages 12-15, strengthen their character, learn self-discipline and gain a sense of responsibility.

One of the goals at Camp Cadet is to help participants learn more about the numerous, diverse careers available in law enforcement. However, more important than helping the Cadets determine WHAT they want to be when they "grow up", Camp Cadet understands that it's not WHAT you want to be, but WHO you want to be that really matters.

Camp Cadet also encourages cadets to develop positive attitudes toward law enforcement professionals. Their exposure to the criminal justice system mirrors the perspective of a cadet in training at the State Police Academy.

Cadets are taught the importance of gun regulations, safety, and hunting laws. Under experienced, knowledgeable supervision, they also learn responsible use of firearms.

This training arms graduates with skills that will carry them through life... skills like developing responsibility, leadership and a solid work ethic.
