The mission of the Somerset County Camp Cadet Program is to provide youth the opportunity to experience various aspects of the law enforcement community in a para-military structured atmosphere. The program includes a disciplined environment, teamwork, respect for others and self, and a graduation ceremony with parents in attendance.
