Camp Thrive presents Graphic Design, a youth camp hosted by the LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office

The LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Windham are pleased to announce the launch of Camp Thrive, debuting with its first instructional course, Graphic Design: Design with a Message.
The camp is open to LaSalle youth in grades 5th to 12th. We will meet on Mondays from September 14th through October 26, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Please note there will also be one Tuesday session held on October 6, 2026, during the same hours. Registration is required to attend and limited seating available. Please refer to the attached flyer for full details.
This program serves as the next evolution of the initiative, which concludes this fall. Camp Thrive will continue the critical mission of providing youth with constructive outlets and helping them develop "natural highs" as a preventative measure against opioid, alcohol, and other substance abuse.
Looking forward to 2027, the Sheriff's Office plans to expand the curriculum to include a wider variety of camps focusing on technology, music, theater, and the arts. This camp is funded by the Opioid Abatement Settlement Fund.
For inquiries or further information, please contact Deputy Jenny Parker, Program Director.

Sheriff Lane Windham delivered brownies to all the schools for the teachers and staff to have something to snack on for the first week of school. Some of the students was at the right place at the right time and got to have a snack also! We hope everyone has a safe and fun school year this year.

LaSalle Parish’s “The Strand Village Project ” program will continue permanently, funded through opioid settlement money starting in January 2027. The positive announcement was made by parish officials July 21 at the LaSalle Economic Development District’s (LEDD) Legislative Update Forum at The Strand Theater.

“I’m pleased to tell you that is here to stay,” said LEDD President Walter E. Dorroh Jr., announcing that what began as the Strand Village Project has evolved into a permanent initiative.

The children and youth camps have become a staple in the parish over the past six years and have helped transform hundreds of parish youth in various ways. The welcomed news was applauded by those in attendance last week.

LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office presents....Camp CSI was a huge success! First year hosting two summer camps was exciting and rewarding. Thank you to all who contributed.
Check out the pictures taken by The Jena Times photographer.

Instead of spending their summer solving fictional mysteries, a group of area children spent three days learning how real investigators piece together the evidence left behind at crime scenes.
