CORPORATE PARTNERS COME ON BOARD WITH POLICE SUMMER YOUTH CAMP

Basseterre, St. Kitts, August 15, 2017 (SKNIS): The inaugural Police Summer Youth Camp has a wide variety of activities to keep the 200 participants positively engaged over the next two weeks including movie screenings, sports, picnics, a boat ride to Nevis, and a parade day. Factor in lunch and snacks for the 14 days for the participants and camp officials and it carries a hefty price tag.
To this end, a number of private entities have partnered with the Ministry of National Security and the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) to sponsor and donate in kind to the August 14 to 27 camp. The Coalition of Support for St. Kitts-Nevis Security Initiatives is one such entity. It was launched in 2011 and has as its members the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, Ross University, Royal Beach Casino, Windsor University, Royal St. Kitts Hotel and the Four Seasons Resort.
