OPP officers to pack groceries for Cop Camp

Later this week, Ontario Provincial Police officers will be at two grocery stores in the region to pack groceries and raise money for Cop Camp.

Cop Camp is a week-long visit to Gesstwood Camp in Essex for 80 grade six students, where they'll learn leadership skills while having fun.

The camp costs nothing for campers selected to attend. The money collected will pay for the operation of the camp.

Officers will be at the Zehrs' in Kingsville and the Zehrs' in Tecumseh from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday for the annual fundraiser.
