First Lady Lori Shapiro joined the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) for an event aimed at helping girls build their confidence, creativity, and decision-making skills.PSP's Bureau of Training and Education hosted summer campers from a Girls on the Run program for a day of fun and learning at the Academy in Hershey.The event included a look at the Pennsylvania State Police Mounted and K9 units, an obstacle course, and a building entry and clearing drill. Thirty-six participants, all in grades 3 to 8, had an opportunity to interact with female troopers and the First Lady. At the event, the First Lady met a junior counselor who attended Girls on the Run as a camper and enjoyed her time with Girls on the Run so much - including her visit to PSP - that she decided to come back and volunteer as a teenager.
