PSP Seeks Applicants for Annual Youth Camp 

The Pennsylvania State Police, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania National Guard and Pennsylvania American Legion, is accepting applications for its annual youth camp, which will be held June 9-15, 2024 at Messiah University in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County. The six-day leadership camp is for teenagers, ages 15-17, interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement or the military. The camp works to improve the relationship between Pennsylvania’s youth and the law enforcement community.
