About
NCPAL West Hempstead offers day camps along with a range of sports and recreation activities, including Hockey-Dek, roller hockey, judo, and tennis. The program also runs additional recreation programs under the NCPAL West Hempstead unit name.
NCPAL West Hempstead is part of an organization that began in 1940 under Nassau County’s first Police Commissioner, Abraham Skidmore, as the Nassau County Police Boys Club, and continues with the same mission over 80 years later. Its mission is to operate youth clubs and provide sports, crafts, educational and other team and individual programs for all boys and girls in Nassau County regardless of race, religion, income, or disability, with activities intended to prevent juvenile delinquency, steer children away from gang activity, and support positive interaction between police officers and youth. NCPAL operates 31 units in over 40 communities throughout Nassau County, with all funds raised staying in the community and 100% of funding coming from donors rather than any municipality, including Nassau County. NCPAL is considered one of the largest Police Athletic Leagues in the nation, with 20,000 youth participating annually, and it reports having the largest Special Needs Unit in the nation.
