The Caddo Sheriff's Youth Firearms Education Camp will be held at the Sheriff's Regional Training Academy. Boys and girls ages 10-13 may select to attend Wednesday, July 10th or Thursday, July 11th to join Caddo deputies on the firing range for supervised firearms safety education and .22 rifle target shooting.

Camp registration begins at 8:00 a.m. each day and takes place at the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office Regional Training Academy located on Hwy. 1 South past Flournoy Lucas Road. Transportation is provided by the Sheriff’s Office or you can be responsible for your child’s transportation. Each participant must arrive dressed in appropriate attire. No shorts, sandals, or open-toe shoes are allowed due to the nature of the activities. Only children who are properly dressed will be allowed to participate.
