PAL Summer Camp

About

Four five-day camps will take place at Savannah State University and will teach skills in character building, goal setting, decision making, crime reporting, stranger danger and much more. SPD’s Juvenile Officers launched the camp in 2013 under the direction of Retired Maj. Richard Zapal to develop rapport between youth and law enforcement officers early in life. Learning strategies will include guest speakers, field trips and hand-on activities. Youth will also be exposed to many aspects of college life with support from SSU.

The free camp targets children ages 8-14 of all socioeconomic backgrounds. The initiative is designed to provide youth with alternatives to risky or criminal behavior during the summer. All Chatham County children meeting the age requirement are invited to attend.

Mission

The mission of the SPD Youth Summer Camp is to establish trust and rapport between Savannah’s youth and its law enforcement community by teaching skills in goal setting, decision making and good citizenship, along with the inner workings of policing under the mentorship of SPD staff.
