A group of 15 Roane County middle and high school students entered school this fall after completing an eight-week court ordered juvenile justice program. The Child Attitude Motivation Program (CAMP) is designed to "motivate some of our local youth who grow up in bad circumstances or who were making their circumstances worse," program founder and Roane County General Sessions Court Judge Terry Stevens says. CAMP works with community partners to teach students valuable life skills and prevention education, dealing with such topics as drug and alcohol abuse, suicide prevention, the importance of teen mental health and character building. It operates as a partnership with Roane County Anti-Drug Coalition (RCADC) and Roane County Juvenile Courts and Probation.
