The 2024 Camp Cadet is scheduled for July 7th – July 12th.
Each year Troop K Camp Cadet provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience to young adults from Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties, between the ages of 11-14.
The purpose of Camp Cadet is to provide an insight into police training and the overall expectations of a police officer. This program is a true-to-life experience, patterned after Pennsylvania State Police training. Participants are challenged by classroom instruction and physical activities. Self-discipline is taught here. The program is not a recreational camp, nor is it a disciplinary camp for problem youth. The camp is designed to bring a better understanding of law enforcement activities to the participants as they learn self-discipline, make new friends, and work as part of a team.
While the Troopers and local police officers volunteer their time for this overnight camp meals, lodging, and programs are provided at no cost to staff. Camps are funded exclusively by corporate and community donations, except for a $200.00 fee paid by the cadet. Partial waivers are available on as needed basis.
Troop K Camp Cadet is classified as a public charity under sections 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is qualified to receive tax-deductible gifts/donations. All money goes directly to the camp.
Sunny Day Camp - A Unique Concept
Children/Adults with Special Needs
This unique concept called Sunny Day Camp, was the vision of a Pennsylvania State Trooper, Samantha Minnucci, in 2016 as a way to promote good relations between police and children/adults of special needs. Cpl. Minnucci wanted a program where no one would be left out of learning about the law-enforcement agencies which serve their community.
