Sheriff's Office Registering Kids for Deputy Camp

Release, Berkeley County Sheriff's Office:

The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office will host its annual Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office Summer Deputy Camp for students 8-12 years of age this year.

Camp dates are July 16-20. Participation is limited to the first 50 students who return a completed parental consent and registration form along with a check or money order for $75 made payable to the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, Crime Prevention Unit.

For registration or more information contact Sgt. Jimmie Ross Jr. at 843-719-4713 or 843-834-4433.

Parental transportation is required to the Berkeley County Emergency Services Training Center, 474 Reid Hill Road, Moncks Corner, for student drop-off and pick-up. Check-in time is 8:30 a.m. each morning of the camp and pick-up time is at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided at the camp.

Bringing the community and Law Enforcement together as one family is the goal of the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office Summer Deputy Camp.

Each day will begin with the Pledge of Allegiance and a different theme for discussion. Some of the exciting activities include a field trip to Music 'N' Motion, Whirlin' Waters Adventure Water Park, Department of Natural Resources Demonstrations, K-9 Demonstrations and more. There will be a lot of interaction between the students and Sheriff’s Deputies who will chaperone them throughout the week-long camp.

Our children are our greatest asset. Through this camp they are encouraged in the way they should go while they are young so that when they are older they will not depart from it.
