Hamilton Heights Youth Assistance Program (HHYAP) and Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officers (SRO) from Hamilton Heights partnered for the third annual minicamp held at Hamilton Heights Middle School in Arcadia.
Nearly 30 students in grades 4 through 8 kicked off their summer fun at this three-day interactive camp. The camp featured demonstrations from the Jackson Township Fire Department, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office K9 Unit, and the Hamilton County Emergency Management Association (EMA), obstacle course, and a variety of daily games.

“The camp offered an opportunity for Heights’ SROs and YAP staff to get to know each other better, have fun with their peers and staff while learning more about emergency and law enforcement services serving their school district and community,” Mary Ann Haymaker said. “We look forward to this week every year.”
Hamilton Heights SROs Josh Ireland and Jon Tindal and YAP’s Mary Ann Haymaker and Summer Bailey participated in the camp. Special thanks to Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, Nicole Prater, and Rachel Baldwin for helping this year.
The camp is traditionally held the first or second week of June. Camp sign ups take place in May.
