With summer fast approaching, the Flagler Sheriff’s Police Athletic League has opened registration for its 2025 summer youth programs. Sheriff Rick Staly encourages local families to take advantage of these exciting opportunities.
This summer’s Flagler Sheriff’s PAL schedule includes a variety of activities including boxing, soccer, and volleyball designed to encourage teamwork and physical activity. In addition, the Flagler Sheriff’s PAL and the Florida Sheriff’s Youth Ranches will host two separate summer camps that are sure to provide participants with memorable experiences and positive interactions with deputies while nurturing personal growth.
“These programs are more than just sports,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “They provide a safe and structured environment where kids can grow, stay active, and build lasting relationships with their mentors, deputies, and peers.”
Highlights of this summer’s youth programs include:
- PAL Mobile Events – Pop-Up Parties (From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hidden Trails Park on June 4 and July 30 and Espanola Park on July 16): Youth of all ages can enjoy lunch and take part in fun games and activities with their favorite deputies.
- The Flagler Sheriff’s PAL Crime Scene Investigation Summer Camp (July 7 – July 10): A hands-on educational experience where youth, ages 10 to 13, will learn about crime scene processing, collecting evidence, and investigative techniques.
- The Florida Sheriff’s Youth Ranches Summer Camp (June 21 – 28): A free, week-long summer camp for youth, ages 10 to 15, that will offer campers fun outdoor adventures such as biking, archery, canoeing, fishing, swimming, and s’mores by the campfire. The FCSO has seven School Resource Deputies scheduled to attend. A separate registration link for this program is available on the Flagler Sheriff’s PAL website.
Registration is now open for all programs. Early sign-up is encouraged as space is limited. For more information or to register, visit https://www.flaglersheriffspal.com or contact the Flagler Sheriff’s PAL office at (386) 586-2655.

The organization is a mixture of law enforcement, civilian staff, and a volunteer board of directors made up of business and community leaders. The mission of the Flagler Sheriff’s PAL is to reduce juvenile crime by providing and coordinating quality programs and activities that contribute to the character, integrity, physical and mental fitness, citizenship, sportsmanship, and personal well-being of Flagler County youth.
