 This week, more than 30 kids from Johnson County are spending their days learning and making new friends at the second annual Johnson County Sheriff's Office summer camp. Organizers have activities planned all week for the campers, but they say the most important part is the time they spend getting to know each other. It's so good for the kids. They get out here, they meet new friends, they play, they learn, they make lifelong friends. Most of these kids will be going to school together and they'll already know who they are. Each day has a theme and the kids get hands-on experience learning about topics from weather to the judicial system to archaeology. And parents say that's all the kids can talk about each afternoon when they get home. That's all we heard about was what they did at the jail and how they saw the handcuffs and what the people in the control room at the jail told them. Today, archaeologist Dr. Gwen Henderson from the University of Kentucky brought artifacts and talked to the kids about the people who lived here thousands of years ago. Just like doing research in an archaeological setting, sometimes you've got info and sometimes you don't. Camp organizers kept the number of campers to around 30 to give each child a more personal experience and the parents are thankful. Each one of these kids at the end of the day, if they leave here, I think 100 percent they feel like they were made to feel special that day. But for Sheriff Price and the deputies who work the camp, it's just as important for the kids to know who they can turn to. Kids, they need to know that the police are their friends, not their enemies. We'll do anything we can for them no matter what. Reporting in Painesville for EKB News, I'm Shannon Deskins.
