About Us
This unique concept called “Camp Cadet” was the vision of a single Pennsylvania State Trooper in 1970, as a way to promote good relations between police and young people. The first Camp Cadet began in Butler PA. Today, that vision is thriving, as there are 26 different Camp Cadet programs throughout the Commonwealth including the Commissioner’s Honor Camp. Although bearing many similarities, each regional program is independently operated and funded.
Our proud tradition in Chester County followed soon after in 1971, allowing boys and girls, ages 11-13, to experience a variety of law enforcement activities, while promoting positive interaction with the professionals who serve their communities. Cadets, live in an atmosphere modeled after the State Police Academy, where emphasis is placed on improving self-discipline, confidence and self-esteem. During this action-packed week, Cadets will learn teamwork and the benefits of making good decisions as well as respect for authority and each other. Cadets will be challenged to work hard from start to finish, in this highly structured program, but will also enjoy plenty of fun activities associated with a traditional summer camp. Concluding the week with a military style graduation ceremony will instill a sense of accomplishment for all. Camp Cadet of Chester County is for boys and girls that reside; or attend school in Chester County.
Troopers and other specially selected law enforcement professionals, both male and female, serve as counselors. Our staff graciously donates their off-duty time, allowing them to remain on-site for the entire week to create and share in this unique and thrilling cadet experience.
