Every year after school gets out, the Opelika Police Department hosts a youth camp. This year, the camp was held May 31 through June 3. The annual camp is for fourth-grade students, going into fifth grade, and for children who might not otherwise get to participate in a summer activity. At the OPD youth camp, activities included: playing organized games, crafts, competitions and swimming every day at Covington Rec Center. Guest speakers also attended and talked about the importance of staying in school, building character and making the right decisions in life. Lunches and snacks were provided by the courtesy of many area businesses and restaurants.
