Attorney General Miyares Kicks Off Virginia Rules Camp Season
RICHMOND, Va. – Attorney General Jason Miyares today announced the start of another season of Virginia Rules Camps, organized by the Office of the Attorney General and Virginia law enforcement agencies in collaboration with local community stakeholders. Virginia Rules Camps offer young people a unique opportunity to learn about Virginia law while enjoying enriching outdoor activities and building positive relationships with local law enforcement officers.
This year, the Office of the Attorney General expanded the camp to over 15 locations, ranging from the City of Richmond to Tazewell County to Prince William County. Virginia Rules Camp combines traditional summer camp activities–such as swimming, fishing, canoeing, hiking, and archery–with daily lessons from the Virginia Rules curriculum.
Under Attorney General Miyares’ leadership, the Virginia Rules program has been enhanced to cover the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit drugs in a One Pill Can Kill lesson. This summer, Virginia Rules Camps are launching in Operation Ceasefire cities like Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, and Newport News.
The success of Virginia Rules Camps is driven by its engaging curriculum and dedicated volunteers, including community police officers and patrol officers who return each year to mentor campers and foster positive interactions between campers and law enforcement.
