The Somerset County Association of Chiefs of Police have
once again sponsored the Somerset County Park Commission Therapeutic Recreation
Camp Okee Sunokee annual Fishing Derby.
Each summer, chiefs and officers from Somerset County
municipalities and the the Sheriff’s Department team up with the campers to
assist them as they fish at Pleasant Valley Park in Basking Ridge. The day also
includes a barbeque lunch, a visit from an ice cream truck, and the landing of
a State Police Helicopter.
Camp Okee Sunokee is a six-week day camp for children ages
6-14 with learning disabilities or Asperger’s Syndrome. The summer activities
at Okee Sunokee encourage the development of recreation and social skills and
enhance self-confidence and educational growth through the participation in a
variety of activities including arts & crafts, sports & games, music,
cooking, trips, and swimming.
