The
Campus Program serves a distinct population. Up to 40
males identified with serious substance abuse issues
are placed at the Campus Program through the Commission's
classification process. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
The
program is designed to promote responsibility and initiative.
The Campus Program teaches addicted juveniles to gradually
understand the impact of substance abuse on their past
behavior, their lives and the lives of those around
them. |

The
Campus Program's vocational component includes a greenhouse
facility with seasonal crops and ornamental harvests.
The residents cultivate flowers and ornamental trees
and distribute them to the City of Blackwood and Camden
County, as well as to other interested and needy groups.
A building maintenance program includes the study of
carpentry, plumbing, electric, painting, dry wall, glass
repair and floor maintenance. Small engine repair is
also offered. Specialized training is available two
nights a week in fitness, electronics, printing, auto
repair, auto body and culinary skills through a contract
with the Gloucester County Institute of Technology.

The
Campus Program coordinates with area schools and other
interested agencies to allow some of the young people
in the Commission's custody to lead discussion groups
regarding the effects of substance abuse. |
