SeaComm Donates to Sheriff's Summer Camp
St. Lawrence County Sheriff, Brooks J Bigwarfe wants to take this opportunity to thank SeaComm and SeaComm President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. Wilson for their very generous $2,500 donation to the NYS State Sheriffs Association summer camp program. Every summer the New York State Sheriffs' Association hosts a co-ed summer camp on the shore of Keuka Lake in Penn Yan, Finger Lakes region. Each county is invited to participate and send youths from their community for a one-week camping opportunity. Campers participate in many kinds of activities including sailing, hiking, fishing, educational demonstrations by deputies to include K-9 handling and scuba diving.
This camping opportunity exists as a result of the commitment to youth by the past and present sheriffs of New York State. There is no cost attached to this opportunity, which allows over 800 kids annually a chance to interact with others from across the Empire State. Campers from St. Lawrence County are selected based on financial, academic and social need with valuable input/assistance from local school districts. The St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office coordinates this event for area youth each year and has traditionally sent approximately 30 kids between 9 and 12 years of age on a great adventure.
