Respect for Law Camp

Law Camp

Butler County Chiefs of Police Association created this camp with a desire to show children the many positive aspects of Law Enforcement and to teach them about respect, spirit, leadership, teamwork and kindness. For three days and two nights, Respect For Law Camp provides the campers with an experience unlike any other. The camp counselors are passionate public safety personnel who choose to spend a weekend teaching and mentoring the youth. In today’s society, this opportunity is invaluable, both for the officers and campers. Campers get to rappel from a fire tower, engage in a mock traffic stop, target shoot in a FBI pellet gun course, watch a K-9 demonstration, clear a building in a simulated SWAT exercise, participate in a high ropes challenge course, and many, many other exciting events.

The youth at this camp walk away with many lessons learned, a better sense of self-esteem and encouragement to make the right choices for the rest of their lives. As an outcome of their participation, some graduates have become Law Enforcement officers, Firefighters, EMS providers, and Military personnel. It’s a transformative, pivotal experience, much more than a typical “camp.” For nearly every camper, it’s the experience of a lifetime.
