The 2023 SPD Summer Camp hosted by the Statesville Police Department offers an exciting and educational experience for kids!

The camp will feature a variety of activities, including internet, gun, and bike safety, criminal investigations, gang prevention and anti-bullying sessions, and arts and crafts, as well as scavenger hunts and games.

This type of camp can help children develop important life skills, foster a sense of community, and build positive relationships with law enforcement personnel. It’s a great way for kids to have fun while gaining valuable knowledge and understanding of various important subjects.

The camp will take place July 24-28 at Christian Outreach, located at 1424 Rickert Street in Statesville. Camp activities will run from 8 a.m. to 12 noon each day. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for the campers.

The camp is open to rising first-graders through fifth-graders.
