The Manitoba First Nations Police Service is inviting indigenous youth to take part in a free Youth Cadet Camp later this month.

 

The camp runs August 24th to 27th at the Manitoba First Nations Police Service Training Academy in Southport, Manitoba, and is open to youth ages 14 to 17.

 

Participants will get hands-on experience through activities including crime scene investigations, police dog demonstrations, team challenges and a relay race, virtual reality and drone use, police response activities, and team-building exercises.

 

The camp is focused on leadership, teamwork, community, confidence and policing. Meals and snacks, travel and accommodations, and all camp activities are included.

 

First Nations youth from across the province are eligible and have until Saturday, August 15th to register, but organizers say spots are limited.

 

To register, contact the Manitoba First Nations Police Service's northern outreach liaison at outreachnorth@mfnp.ca.
