Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator will host a Youth Firearms Education Camp this summer for children interested in target shooting and firearms safety.

Five one-day mini camps will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. July 12-16 at the Sheriff’s Regional Training Academy at 15639 Highway One South. Campers can select which day they would like to attend and join Caddo deputies on the range for supervised firearms safety education and .22 rifle shooting. In addition, campers will learn rural and urban survival skills, water safety, hands-on defensive techniques to protect against stranger abduction, and more.

The camp is free and open to boys and girls ages 10-14. Transportation is available. To register, contact Deputy Andrea Samuels at 681-0735. The deadline to register is June 15.

Applications can be obtained on-line at www.caddosheriff.org or picked up at any Caddo Sheriff’s Office substation, Caddo Correctional Center, or Sheriff’s Safety Town.
