In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The program facilitated interactions through a series of engaging activities, educational sessions, and public safety demonstrations. During their time at the park, Club members and law enforcement officers participated together in games, hands-on learning opportunities, and team-building exercises designed to foster a fun and supportive atmosphere.
Key highlights of Camp Guardian included an appearance by a Maryland State Police helicopter, demonstrations by local K-9 units, and boat excursions on Greenbrier Lake. These experiences offered the young participants a direct look into various public safety operations while creating memorable moments for all involved. The Boys & Girls Club of Washington County, which serves approximately 700 youth annually between the ages of 6 and 18, operates four after-school programs and summer camps in Hagerstown and one site in Frostburg. The organization is dedicated to empowering young people to become productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
