THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) Annual Youth Camp which is being hosted in collaboration with the Guyana Police Wives’ Association will be held from Monday August 6 to Saturday August 11, 2012, at the Rosignol Primary School, West Coast Berbice. Over 200 children between the ages of eight and fourteen years, selected from among youths involved in the Force’s Youth Clubs and Scout Groups, will be participating in the much anticipated Police Camp which is being conducted under the theme “Empowering Young Minds for the next Generation”.
The Camp will be managed by Assistant Commissioner, Carol Lewis-Primo, assisted by several other police ranks, members of the Police Wives’ Association and a number of civilians who have volunteered their services.
During the period, the campers will be involved in craft-work, educational talks, road safety, religious teaching, information technology, games and an exhibition to showcase their skills learnt, among other activities.
The first Police Youth Camp was held at Camp Soweyo, Soesdyke/Linden Highway, during 1991. Last year’s camp was at the Linden Foundation Secondary School, Amelia’s Ward, Linden.
