D2U Summer Camp

D2U (Dare 2 Understand) Summer Camp is designed to bridge the gap between local youth and law enforcement by creating positive relationships, meaningful experiences, and open communication. The camp is led by Fort Myers Police Department officers who serve as counselors and mentors throughout the program.

Through partnerships with the Fort Myers PAL and other local organizations, campers are introduced to valuable life skills, community resources, and career opportunities while gaining a better understanding of the important role local organizations and first responders play in their community. The camp also provides awareness courses and educational activities that help youth make positive choices, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to succeed both in and outside the classroom.
