Operation Purple® Camp
Operation Purple Camp is designed to build community, connection, and resilience.
Operation Purple® Camp offers military kids a free week of summer camp where they connect with other kids, just like them.
At Operation Purple, we combine fun filled activities and targeted resources that support military kids to improve wellbeing, build connections, and equip them to thrive in the face of the challenges and adventures that come with military life.
Children of active-duty service members and veterans, from all uniformed services, including the National Guard, Reserve, Space Force, the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may apply.
Operation Purple Camp is full of fun outdoor adventures such as:
- Campers can pump up their adrenaline with adventurous challenges such as climbing, ropes courses, ziplining, and cool off with a variety of water sports, including kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and more.
- Curious and creative campers will love the arts and crafts, STEM explorations, and nature activities.
- Spirited outdoor sports like gaga ball and field games build teamwork under the sun.
- Operation Purple camp activities such as the Wall of Honor, Freedom Day by Under Armour Freedom, and Military Kid Appreciation activities, are designed to celebrate and honor the resilience and contributions of military kids.
