BearTrax Summer Camp

A trailer with the words " youth programs " on it.

BearTrax is an overnight camp and mentorship program that is designed to enhance relationships between police officers and youth and provides role models that help a child develop socially and emotionally.  Officers help kids learn to understand and communicate their feelings, to relate to their peers, and to develop positive relationships with other adults.

Building Self-Confidence & Social Skills

Through the BearTrax Camp, officers attempt to instill children with a healthy sense of importance and self-confidence.  They will be taught communication skills, conflict management, and a sense of respect for others. 
The Camp will reinforce important social lessons, where entertaining activities will be used to focus on topics such as physical fitness, bullying, anger management, personal safety, peer pressure, team building, character building, and community services.
