The Currituck County Youth Public Safety Summer Camp returns in 2026, offering an engaging and immersive experience for youth ages 10–15 in Currituck County. Following the success and high number of applications in 2025, the program will expand to include two sessions in 2026. The first camp will run June 15–19, and the second will take place July 13–17.

This unique, week-long program is designed to introduce participants to public safety careers while building leadership skills and a strong sense of community responsibility. Campers will interact with:

  • Local law enforcement officers,
  • Firefighters,
  • Emergency medical technicians,
  • Telecommunicators,
  • And other public safety professionals

through hands-on activities, workshops, and simulations.

Participants will tour the 911 Communications Center, learn about dispatch procedures, explore crime scene investigations, practice CPR techniques, and gain knowledge of fire safety protocols. These experiences provide valuable insight into the vital roles public safety professionals play in protecting our communities.

Beyond technical training, the camp emphasizes teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. Through interactive sessions and group projects, campers will develop confidence, civic pride, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their neighborhoods.

The Currituck County Youth Public Safety Summer Camp serves as a bridge between youth and public safety professionals, fostering mutual respect and understanding while inspiring the next generation of community leaders. This program continues to be a source of empowerment, education, and engagement for young individuals eager to explore the world of public safety.

Through hands-on training, campers will learn essential life-saving skills, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use, First Aid, bleeding control, fire extinguisher operation, home preparedness, and more—helping them feel confident, capable, and prepared for real-life situations.
