Designed for children ages 8 – 13 (rising 3rd – 8th grade students), The Smyrna Police and Fire Youth Academy will be held at Smyrna Fire Station # 2 (644 Fitzhugh Blvd) 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Thursday, June 1 – 5, 2026. Students will participate in a graduation ceremony on Friday, June 5.
Sessions are formatted in the style of a summer camp, including indoor and outdoor activities. The purpose of the academy is to interact with the children in a positive way and to demonstrate the activities both departments use on a daily basis. The primary focus is safety in the daily lives of these children in various situations involving both fire and police services. The academy will use the officers and division personnel to incorporate “hands on” activities of various skills that the participants will find both challenging and fun.
Officials say space is limited to 50 students, and spots are expected to fill quickly. Priority will be given to Town of Smyrna residents and first-time participants.
Applications and required forms are available through the Town of Smyrna website.
