We had a blast at our 7th annual Civic Heroes Summer Camp! Swipe to see all the fun things we got to do while learning about our government and the community.

We had such a great group of kids this year that had the energy and excitement that it takes to make camp fun! We have no doubt that they will be great leaders in their communities, and will take what they learned and apply it to every day life. We miss them so much already!

A HUGE special thanks to:

Troy Police Department - Officer Baldwin and his K9, Smoke, did an awesome job at showing our campers what Smoke is trained to do! We are so appreciative of the Troy Police Department and what they do for the Troy community!

Clint Free - Mr. Clint is the Executive Director of Common Ground Troy. Common Ground is an after school program for 6th-8th grade young men and provides necessary resources for them to succeed. Clint is loved and appreciated by the Troy community for his hard work and devotion to provide an excellent learning space for these young men!

Troy Fire Department - Captain McMangle, Sergeant Turner, Firefighter Nobles, and Mr. Wingo came prepared to show off their skills. The Troy Fire Department is an incredible asset to our community, and did an amazing job at showing our campers the role they play in keeping our community safe.

Chauntina Whittle - Chauntina is the Program and Outreach Coordinator for the David Matthews Center and joined our camp for the week as a camp counselor. The kids loved hearing her speak on important community assets and how to best utilize resources in your community!

Troy University Photography - Aliza Chambers came on Thursday and Friday to take pictures of our activities planned on those days. Aliza is awesome at what she does and we are so grateful for her!

We are grateful for everyone who took time out of their work days to present to our kids and help them understand the value in true community and belonging. It takes a village to build a strong community, and these Civic Heroes are proof of that.
