Ten years ago, the National Military Family Association heard the same thing over and over from military parents: "How can we help our kids deal with deployment?" Our answer? A free, week-long camp experience for military kids to get to know each other, share common bonds, and have a blast!

Operation Purple Camp offers military kids a time to get away and be kids in a stress-free environment. Campers ride horses, climb towers, plummet down water slides - all in a "purple" environment. The very name of the game is to bring kids of all ranks and services, including reserve and guard components, together to enjoy a very special week of camp. This experience is unmatched by any other programs currently serving military kids.

If your child has attended Operation Purple in the past, tell a friend and encourage them to apply! The application is available beginning today. Website: http://www.militaryfamily.org/our-programs/operation-purple/2013-camps/
