Greenport, NY – Columbia County Sheriff David W. Harrison, Jr. announced today that children from the county
attended the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute’s 2008 Summer Camp. The Sheriffs’ Summer Camp is
designed to provide a solid recreational program combined with the development of a sense of good citizenship.
This will mark the 32nd year of the camp’s operation.
The Sheriffs’ Summer Camp, which is located near Penn Yan in Yates County, is supported by the Sheriffs’
Association’s Honorary Members through their contributions and annual dues. This year the camp will
accommodate over 900 deserving boys and girls from across New York State.
Sheriffs’ Association President Michael Amato, Sheriff of Montgomery County, in discussing the objectives and
goals of the camp said, “The Sheriffs’ Summer Camp Program is designed to provide a child who ordinarily would
not have the chance, an opportunity to go away during the summer”. Sheriff Amato pointed out that, “The primary
objective is to create positive interaction between the kids attending camp and the Sheriff’s and Deputy Sheriff’s
who participate in camp programs.”
Throughout the week-long stay, the children observe special exhibits and demonstrations presented by Sheriff’s
Offices from across the state. Included in these presentations are D.A.R.E. presentation, boat and bike safety
programs, law enforcement equipment and technical demonstrations, pistol and archery competitions for accuracy
and even a talent show just for fun.
This year Columbia County Sheriff’s D.A.R.E Officer, Deputy Sheriff Wendy Moon also went to the camp to assist
and participate.
Upon completion of their stay, all children were awarded a diploma for their participation in a program of “Good
Citizenship and Law Enforcement Studies.”
