The free camp will be held at the Sheriff’s Rifle range in Plain Dealing. Students 10 -14 years old will go through the Louisiana Hunter’s Education Course to get their hunters certification by shooting BB Target Rifle, Archery, and a 20-gauge Shotgun.
“This is a great opportunity for our deputies to interact with the youth of the parish and to teach them how to properly handle a firearm,” said Sheriff Julian Whittington.
The camp dates are June 17- 20, July 8-11 and July 22-25 from 8 am to 4 pm. “As a former SRO, this is just another way I can give back to the community,” said Dep. James Lonadier, who will be heading up the youth summer camp.
