Camp Good Days spearheads new anti-violence program
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Returning for another summer season, Camp Good Days hosted project tips, aimed at to fostering positive community engagement with local law enforcement agencies.
The event kicked off with door-to-door community surveys to collect data on the quality of life for residents in the Rochester area.
Once the surveys were completed, participants were invited to a cook out with games, raffles, and even pony rides!
For the adults: local organizations were present to share resources and information about job opportunities and professional development.
Project T.I.P.S. stands for Trust, Information, Programs and Services.
It's a part of Camp Good Days' Partners Against Violence Everywhere initiative which is a series of anti-violence programs to help make the City of Rochester and Monroe County a safer place to live.
'That's what this is about. Building trust. Building lines of communication, so that people won't misinterpret the relationship between law enforcement and themselves,' Camp Good Days Director of Community Initiatives James R. McCauley Jr. said.
Camp Good Days is a nonprofit organization that serves children, adults, and families whose lives have been touched by cancer through summer camping experiences and year-roundevents and activities.
The camp will be hosting 3 more Project T.I.P.S. events through out the summer on June 26, July 31, and August 28.
