Military kids are used to changing plans, which gave them a leg up over their classmates last summer when summer camps came to a screeching halt. Luckily for them, Operation Purple came through with a virtual camp option in 2020. This year, Operation Purple presents two options for military kids: the traditional overnight camp and a virtual option.
Operation Purple Camp
Operation Purple Camp is a traditional summer camp, presented by the National Military Family Association, and got its name because purple symbolizes all who serve -- combining the green, blues and red of the various branches.
