Camp Cadet of Lancaster County is a week-long overnight summer camp for Lancaster and York County kids, this year, ages 11-14 years.  The goal of Camp Cadet is to introduce participants to the diverse criminal justice system while fostering positive relationships with law enforcement personnel.  

Camp Cadet provides kids with an understanding of law enforcement activities & duties while living in an atmosphere like the State Police Academy.  Emphasis is placed on teaching Cadets teamwork, self-esteem, and confidence to make good decisions as well as respect for authority and service to their communities.

Camp Cadet is not a disciplinary or reform camp for children with behavioral issues.  We will not tolerate disruptive behavior or bad attitudes as our camp is staffed by Pennsylvania State Troopers and local law enforcement.
