 Operation: Purple Camp is the only summer camp program, free of charge to all participants, designed to give children of the uniformed services the tools to successfully face the challenges of deployment. It was created by the National Military Family Association (NMFA)to bring youth from all service branches and components of the military, including the National Guard and Army Reserve, together. By participating in team building and recreational activities that focus on fun, coping skills, and leadership, the youth can share their experiences with one another, and connect with someone who has walked in their shoes. 
During the 5-day camp, youth were able to choose a number of activities to participate in including archery, sailing, canoeing, dance, nature, orienteering, fishing and more. Learn more or contact your CYS Regional Coordinator
