Coquitlam RCMP’s Junior Mountie Police Academy is back after its successful re-launch in 2024.
Coquitlam RCMP’s Junior Mountie Police Academy aims to connect youth with police officers during a week-long, half-day summer camp. The Camp is offered at no charge to residents of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation, Anmore, Belcarra, and Port Moody.
This interactive program teaches youth, aged 10- to 14-years-old, about the policing career and involves several hands-on educational opportunities. Youth will participate in activities such as:
The Camp runs daily from July 21-25, 2025, between 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. On the final day, the Camp wraps up with a ‘Red Serge Ceremony’ graduation where family and friends can watch our Junior Mounties demonstrate some of their new skills.
"We are very excited to offer the Junior Mountie Police Academy to our communities’ youth once again. Each year we build upon the previous success to ensure our camp is informative, engaging and most of all fun, said Corporal Justin Bauer. The Junior Mountie Police Academy gives our youth the tools to build self-confidence, strengthen positive relationships, and also to have fun.
