​FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

State Police Spring and Summer Youth Camps Canceled
 
Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) announced today the cancellation of upcoming youth camps, which had been scheduled throughout the spring and summer months, in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
 
“Camp Cadet, the Commissioner’s Honor Camp, and Sunny Day Camp have deep roots in our department and are a source of pride for the personnel whose hard work and dedication make them possible every year,” said Colonel Robert Evanchick, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police. “This decision was made with the health and safety of all attendees, staff, and community partners in mind. We look forward to resuming the programs in 2021.”
 
PSP volunteers coordinate dozens of youth camps and events each summer, including 27 weeklong sleepaway Camp Cadet programs, for children ages 12-15; a Commissioner’s Honor Camp, for outstanding teens selected from previous Camp Cadet attendees; State Police Youth Week, in partnership with the American Legion and National Guard; and 12 Sunny Day Camp programs, which are one-day events for children and adults with special needs or disabilities and their families.
 
Cancellation of the 2020 Elmer Hafer American Legion State Police National Guard Youth Camp (State Police Youth Week) was announced by the American Legion earlier this month.

The Camp Cadet Call of Honor is read to the Cadets when they first arrive at camp. As cadets, they are asked to memorize the Call of Honor during their week long stay. When they successfully repeat the Call of Honor by memory to an instructor, they will then repeat the Call of Honor as a group at their graduation ceremony.

Camp Cadet Call of Honor

I am a Cadet in the Pennsylvania State Police Camp Cadet program.
To me is entrusted my honor and well-being.
I must act honestly and faithfully to live up to my ideals and standards.
It is my duty to be true to myself;
I must not give in to negative peer pressure and I must stand up for what I know and believe to be right.
The only person I must impress is myself.
I am proud of myself and I believe in myself.
I will always conduct myself in such a manner that my honor and the honor of Camp Cadet will be upheld.
