SRSO Summer Youth Camp Ends

The summer youth camp sponsored by the Santa Rosa Sheriff's Office ended on Friday July 7, 2006 after ten weeks of great success. The camp was designed around "at risk" children or children who need guidance in their lives and was centered on the goals of nutrition, safety, fitness, health, and harmony. It is the desire of the Sheriff's Office to take these children and provide them with direction, give them positive role models, and facilitate education in a setting that is different from the typical contact they may normally have with law enforcement. The counselors during the program were made up of sheriff's office personnel who participated in the activities on a volunteer basis. Sheriff Wendell Hall met with the children on July 7th to eat lunch with them and to present them with their certificates of completion and appreciation for their attendance.
