Kentucky State Police Post 13 opens spots for female campers
Female camper spots were still open June 17 for a KSP Post 13 youth program tied to Hazard, giving Perry County families a direct application path through the linked form.
Kentucky State Police Post 13 still had female camper spots open on June 17, and families could apply through the linked form on the post’s public-facing page. The Hazard-based office serves Perry County, along with Breathitt, Knott, Leslie and Letcher counties, and its page reminds visitors that emergencies still belong on 911, not social media.
Post 13 is located at 100 Justice Dr. in Hazard, with the listed public phone number (606) 435-6069. That makes the camp notice more than a routine post for Perry County parents: it is a direct opening from the regional state police office that covers the county’s day-to-day safety messaging, along with nearby counties that rely on the same Hazard hub.
The camp message fits into Kentucky State Police’s wider youth pipeline. KSP says its Youth Academy is a structured, hands-on program for high school students interested in law enforcement, public safety and community leadership. The 2026 academy is scheduled for June 28 through July 2 at Trooper Island in Burkesville on Dale Hollow Lake, and it is limited to 16- and 17-year-olds. KSP says participants take part in physical fitness, law enforcement instruction, hands-on demonstrations, leadership development and time with troopers.
Trooper Island itself has been described by KSP as part of a long-range public-service effort for Kentucky youth. The island was established near the Cumberland and Clinton county line on land leased from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and KSP says construction and camping expenses are covered through tax-deductible contributions. For families weighing whether to apply, that history shows the female-camper opening is tied to a long-running state police youth program, not a one-off social media promotion.
Post 13 has also continued to show its regional role beyond youth outreach. On Feb. 3, 2025, KSP said the Hazard post would conduct periodic traffic safety checkpoints across Perry, Knott, Letcher, Breathitt and Leslie counties to enforce traffic laws and deter violations. The camp notice now gives Perry County families another reason to look at the post, this time through a youth program that puts the state police brand in front of girls who may not otherwise cross paths with the agency.
