 The camp is set to take place at Camp Lincoln located
1301 North MacArthur, Springfield, Illinois, from June 21-26, 2020.
Dozens of aspiring teens from across Illinois will discover career
opportunities through training with police and military. The primary
purpose of the ALYPC is to establish an interactive and positive
relationship between Illinois teens and law enforcement officers.
The week-long residency camp is structured to promote educational
and learning opportunities for youth ages 15-17 in the areas of law
enforcement, military, leadership, cultural diversity, personal
development, physical fitness, social and interpersonal skills.
American Legion volunteers and ISP Troopers are assigned to manage
the program and serve as instructors and mentors. Many of the Legion
and ISP volunteers are former graduates of the program.
