OPP Camp Coming to Fort Frances Area


Fort Frances' Sunny Cove Camp will be the site of this year's OPP's annual summer camp.

Forty children, aged 11 and 12, selected through the OPP's DARE programs in the Kenora and Rainy River districts will participate.

Constable Anne McCoy says its the second year for the week long camp.

"We're looking at a wonderful week with the kids and teaching them different development assets," says McCoy, " in helping them learn about team building concepts, life experiences and just having a great week and learning how to do different things to give them the strengths they need for life skills."

A $20-thousand provincial grant is helping to offset some of the camp's costs.
