Mission Statement

The Camden County USCG JLP joins the MAST Academy USCG JLP as the only two public school programs of their kind, sponsored by the United States Coast Guard. The program’s objective, under the direction of Maritime Science Instructors Captain Al Keith USCG (ret) and Master Chief Lyn Dupree USCG (ret), is to provide student cadets with instruction and experiences that will develop leadership, team work, personal responsibility, self confidence, and devotion to school, community, and country. Our cadets strive everyday to become better students and citizens. The cadets live by the Coast Guard’s core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty in all their endeavors, are proud to serve their school and community, and to represent the great traditions of the U. S. Coast Guard.
