Trooper Island Camp

Let's embark on a journey to the heart of the Bluegrass State, where one finds a haven that goes by the name of Trooper Island Kid's Camp. A sanctuary where the everyday hustle and bustle takes a backseat, and the spotlight shines on inspiration, aspiration, and a dash of pure delight. This camp was brought to life by the Kentucky State Police. The mastermind behind this little paradise is no other than former State Police Director Colonel James E. Bassett. His dream was to establish a sanctuary where the troopers of tomorrow could mix play and learning for a week in a delightful blend of joy and knowledge. The camp's setting is as charming as its noble objective. Hidden away in a remote corner of Dale Hollow Lake, near the serene boundaries of Cumberland and Clinton County, the camp occupies an island leased from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It's a place where the world slows down, and children can truly reconnect with nature, away from the city's constant buzz. At Trooper Island Kid's Camp, children can look forward to a week filled with general sports and canoeing. But it's not all fun and games; the camp also serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring the young minds and fueling their desire for a brighter tomorrow. So, let's pack those bags and set sail for Trooper Island Kid's Camp, a place where dreams take flight, and every day is a new adventure. Remember, it's not just about the destination; it's about the incredible journey that leads you there.
