Chester County Camp Cadet

A free program offered to boys & girls age 11- 13.

Camp Cadet of Chester County is a fun and unique, overnight summer camp for kids ages 11-13 who reside in Chester County. “Camp Cadet” was created by the Pennsylvania State Police in 1970, as a way to promote good relations between police and young people.

Our program provides kids with an understanding of law enforcement activities, as well as comfort with the professionals who serve their communities.

While living in an atmosphere similar to the State Police Academy, emphasis is placed on improving self-discipline, confidence and self-esteem. During this action-packed week, “Cadets” will learn to make good decisions and to respect others.

All counselors are Troopers or other specially selected law enforcement professionals working within Chester County.
