C.O.P.S. Young Adults Camp
C.O.P.S. Young Adults Camp is planned for surviving children and siblings (15-20 years of age) of law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, as determined by C.O.P.S. criteria.
Growing up without a parent or an older sibling can be difficult for teenagers and young adults. Young Adults Camp encourages independence, as it is the first step for surviving minor-aged children to attend a program without the presence of their parent/guardian. Young Adults Camp also allows a first look into C.O.P.S. Hands-On Programs for minor-aged siblings.
What to Expect
Growing up without a parent or an older sibling can be difficult for teenagers and young adults. Young Adults Camp encourages independence, as it is the first step for surviving minor-aged children to attend a program without the presence of their parent/guardian. Young Adults Camp also allows a first look into C.O.P.S. Hands-On Programs for minor-aged siblings.
This camp will give these survivors the opportunity to meet licensed mental health professionals who support them by facilitating specifically designed sessions and providing tools for them to take with them into their future for continued healing.
At Young Adults Camp, campers will be roomed in cabins with other attendees their age. They will also get to participate in fun and challenging activities while being surrounded by a family of peers who can truly relate and understand what they are going through.
