The Annual Camp Chance Fundraiser Dinner is Upon Us! Now in its 19^th year, Camp Chance is a five day residential summer camp that brings peace officers and children together in order to build relationships and deter youth crime.  Camp Chance offers kids a structured camping and counseling experience with a mix of challenging physical, mental, and emotional activities.  In addition, peace officers provide interactive demonstrations to help the campers learn about various aspects of law enforcement.  Over 1100 middle school youth have benefited from this program since it began in 1999.  Camp Chance was created by the San Rafael Police Department in collaboration with the Marin County Sheriff’s Office and the Marin County Office of Education. The Camp Chance program is completely funded by donations from private citizens, local businesses and foundations. If you cannot attend, but would still like to support Camp Chance please visit their website: www.CampChanceConnect.org  Donations may be made via PayPal by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.
