News: Dog Gone It! Annual McGruff Safety Camps are Now Full

(May 3, 2013) - The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office announced all sessions of the 25th Annual McGruff Safety Camps are now full.
Residents who applied to have their children attend the camps should receive notification in the next week or two as to whether or not they are registered to attend or on a waiting list.


The camps, which are held at Evergreen Mill Elementary in Leesburg, allow children who are entering Kindergarten and First Grade to learn various topics on safety including fire safety, bicycle safety and 9-1-1 emergencies. Throughout the week children in the camp have an opportunity to meet law enforcement officers, K-9 officers, plus a chance to see law enforcement and fire/rescue vehicles firsthand.

The camps began back in the summer of 1988 and have continued every summer through a joint effort between the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Services.
