Public Safety Summer Academy
Update: COVID-19 and the Public Safety Summer Academy
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to impact our community, the health and safety of your family, our instructors and staff is our utmost priority. With that in mind, this year's Public Safety Summer Academy is canceled and will return in 2022.
Tri-C is pleased to offer a variety of virtual summer camp options for children ages 4-18. We are excited to continue learning online with our campers this summer and look forward to joining them on campus again when it is safe to do so.
