Day three of Emergency Services Youth Camp is complete and our campers have graduated with a new understanding of what it takes to get things done under pressure! Today we started once again with some hard work and sweat in the park. We also learned more medical skills, met with the Gloucester County SWAT team, and finally showed off our newly learned marching skills to our parents at graduation! We're so proud of all of you and we hope you had fun!
