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.

we are so done with this place.
It s been a major headache that we thought might send us to divorce court. We should have just bulldozed it down and started fresh with a brand new house. But, instead, we decided to fix it up and do most of the work ourselves. Because of our busy lives, we have moved at a snail s pace in the renovation race. Now, over a decade later, we need to update and we aren t even finished with the first update. It s stressful and exhausting.
I think that s why we love our camper so much. It s brand new and it s finished. We prefer to stay in our camper than our own home. We also like to stay in Airbnbs or Vrbos. The ones we stay at are always decorated perfectly and everyh=thing is finished and super clean. Unlike our house. LOL

Former State Police Director, Colonel James E. Bassett, spearheaded the idea to establish a permanent recreational site where trooper and child could share a week-long experience. A location was selected in a secluded corner of Dale Hollow Lake near the Cumberland and Clinton County line, where an island was leased from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a non-profit charitable corporation was formed.
