Joining the Lynnwood Police Youth Camp

Police Youth Camp with a helicopter
The Lynnwood Police Department is offering an exciting opportunity for youth between the ages of 11 - 14 years old. 

This is the perfect opportunity for young men and women who want to become a police officer, or just want to learn about law enforcement, to join the Lynnwood Police Department for a four-day summer camp.

It gives youth a chance to interact with law enforcement and have positive experiences with the police, as well as learning safety tips, team building challenges and leadership development.  Some highlights include spending a day of team building at High Trek Adventure for a high ropes course challenge. Participants will also learn about police science, work with the K-9 unit and participate in SWAT team activities, plus much more!

UPDATE: We are adding one additional day compared to the previous years.
