An Incredible Experience!

It was an amazing experience. My favorite part was learning about the military and many different jobs in law enforcement. The K-9 demo was my favorite, and am considering it as my future career.

I learned many valuable lessons at Camp Cadet such as teamwork, honesty, and discipline. ... I was given the opportunity to experience different areas of law enforcement and learn about each one. Being challenged physically and mentally helped me grow as a cadet and as a person. Whether you want to join law enforcement or another career, camp will teach you lifelong skills.

Camp Cadet was a fun experience and something I looked forward to. It was a challenging experience that taught me a lot about myself. I walked away from camp having a better understanding of self-discipline, respect and integrity. Unlike other camps, you will walk away from Camp Cadet knowing what “squared away” means.
