Leadership Youth Camp
The P.R.L.A. sponsors an annual leadership youth camp, which has been operating for more than 30+ years. The youth camp serves Berks County school students in 3rd-11th grades.
The camp is a collaboration with Community Prevention Partnership, South Mountain YMCA Camp Conrad Weiser and the PRLA Board. Focusing on increasing the numbers of graduating high school students, pursuing and completing post-secondary education, learning about what makes a safe, crime-free community, and contributing and participating in civic, social and other community organizations.
