BURKESVILLE, Ky. – This summer, the Kentucky State Police are continuing their annual tradition of sending children across the state to Trooper island. The island is in the middle of Dale Hollow Lake, and is used solely for KSP’s camps.
Monday, June 5th, Posts 3 and 16’s selected children ages 10-12 boated across the lake. The over 60 kids are getting their turn to canoe, fish, swim and learn some archery all while they explore the island side by side with the troopers until the camp ends Friday.
The camp is funded solely on fundraisers, and thanks to Kentuckians for donating, these troopers are able to bring about 500 kids a year to the island completely free.
