Trooper Island Camp was estsblished in 1965 by the Kentucky State Police as a week long residential camp for the youth of Kentucky ages 10-12 who may not otherwise have the opportunity to go to camp.

The camping program is dedicated toward development of one's self-image. The chlidren who attend, are selected from the sixteen Kentucky State Police post districts. Recreation activities include swimming, fishing, canoeing and archery. Other activities include basketball, softball, volleyball and horseshoes.

Trooper Island is located in a secluded corner of Dale Hollow Lake near the Cumberland and Clinton County line, where an island was leased from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a non-profit charitable corporation was formed. All contributions are tax deductable.
