Inaugural Camp Cadet in Philadelphia
State Police are running a summer camp

NORTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- State Police are running a summer camp in Philadelphia.



For the first time, Camp Cadet is being held in Philadelphia, at Girard College.



State police are showing boys and girls ages 11 to 14 how they work crime scenes.



The children are living at the college for the week.



Like military boot camp, they'll get an early wake-up.



In addition to classes, there is physical training.



The cadets graduate on Friday after this eye-opening week of bonding with the state police.
