Sheriff Jeff Siegel invites Elkhart County students who are currently enrolled in the 7th and 8th grades to register and attend this year’s law enforcement leadership camps that will be held in June and July. Sponsored by the Indiana Sheriff’s Association, students will have the opportunity to meet law enforcement professionals and learn about law enforcement through displays, career oriented classes, leadership skills, an obstacle course, swimming, marching, and other recreational activities.

The Indiana Sheriff’s Association will be celebrating their 40th Annual Indiana Sheriffs’ Association Youth Leadership Camp, and is proudly partnering with Indiana Donor Network to celebrate this memorable anniversary. Indiana Donor Network coordinates organ, tissue, and eye donation throughout Indiana and part of their mission includes educating Indiana youth about donation and transplantation. Nationwide, more than 114,000 men, women, and children are waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant and about 1,300 of those patients are Hoosiers.

As in years past, two separate camps will be offered this year. A northern session will be held from June 25-26, 2019 and will be located at Pine Creek Camp in Pine Village, Indiana (Warren County). A southern session will be held from July 9-11, 2019 and will be located at Waycross Episcopal Camp in Morgantown, Indiana (Brown County).

Those interested in attending the camps, should contact the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office (574-891-2300) or the Indiana Sheriff’s Association (800-622-4779) for applications.  The cost for attending the camp is $25.00, and applications are due to the association office by June 14 for the north camp and June 28 for the south camp.    For interested students who don’t have the ability to pay, they may be eligible for sponsorship by the Sheriff.
