Our Operation Purple® Camps are specifically geared toward our younger summer campers in military families. This will be an opportunity to be with other military kids from all branches of service and parts of the state. They will immediately get welcomed into our small camp community, engrossed in activities, and be kept so busy they forget to miss home.
Like our other sessions, our biggest goals are
safety and friendships. We want kids to be comfortable, explore
new activities, learn new skills, and do things they can only do at
camp.
The Operation Purple sessions are designed to meet 5 goals:
To have children realize that, like their parents, they are
serving our country, too (military themed activities, rack ops, cabin
recall)
To have time for each child to be able to share things with
their cabin, and feel they are individually
known and important (cabin recall, the whole day too, but specifically
cabin recall)
To have an opportunity for your child to choose an
element of what they will be doing and intermingle
with other kids their own age (morning electives)
To have time for
your child's cabin group to come together as friends (afternoon cabin
time)
To have time for the all the kids in the session to be able to
meet other military kids in a fun environment (elective period,
afternoon cabin time, evening program)
This is a general outline for our Operation Purple Schedule.
