High school juniors and seniors can spend a week this summer learning about jobs in law enforcement.

Applications are being accepted for the 39th annual Washington State - Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp to be held at the Washington State Patrol Academy July 10-16 in Shelton.

Students are given a hands-on experience on the WSP drive-course and tactical firing range and will work with forensics, SWAT, communications, K-9 and many other police functions. Additionally, students will learn about law enforcement problems and challenges and how to successfully handle situations.

This camp is sponsored and paid for by Washington Kiwanis clubs statewide in addition to corporate and private sponsors.
