Camp C.O.P.S. suggests team relay race to boost camaraderie

A recent Facebook reel asked, “How about a team relay race at Camp C.O.P.S. today?” bringing attention to activities organizers use to engage participants and build teamwork.

Camp C.O.P.S. is a program run by Concerns of Police Survivors, a nonprofit organization that provides support and therapeutic programs for children and families of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty. The camps aim to offer peer support, recreation and opportunities for emotional healing.

Organized group activities such as relay races are commonly used at youth camps to encourage cooperation, physical activity and a sense of normalcy. For participants at Camp C.O.P.S., such events can help strengthen bonds among peers who share similar experiences, organizers say in general about camp programs.

Details about whether a relay race will take place at a specific Camp C.O.P.S. session were not provided in the reel. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
