Children and Deployment
Wisconsin Winter Adventure Camp a SUCCESS!
Congratulations to our Navy Child and Youth Programs in New Orleans,
Whidbey Island, and New London who received a CNIC-funded, all-
expense-paid winter adventure camp held at the Upham Woods Learning
Center in Wisconsin from 26-31 December 2011. Based on their video/
narrative applications, 25 teens were selected to enjoy a week-long
adventure including skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, broomball, dog
sledding, and cross country skiing.
Various leadership, teamwork, stress management, and technology activi-
ties were offered. When asked, “What’s one thing you learned at Winter
Camp?” teens responded with, “No matter where you’re from, you can bring new lifestyles and help other people”; “No matter
how much you don’t know that new person, [it] doesn’t mean you can’t become friends.”
Operation Purple Program
Do you want to get in on the action this summer? The National Military Family Association’s Operation Purple camps are a
time for having fun, making friends, and reminding military kids that they are the nation’s youngest heroes. To access the 2012

Congratulations to our Navy Child and Youth Programs in New Orleans, Whidbey Island, and New London who received a CNIC-funded, all- expense-paid winter adventure camp held at the Upham Woods Learning Center in Wisconsin from 26-31 December 2011. Based on their video/ narrative applications, 25 teens were selected to enjoy a week-long adventure including skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, broomball, dog sledding, and cross country skiing. Various leadership, teamwork, stress management, and technology activi- ties were offered. When asked, “What’s one thing you learned at Winter Camp?” teens responded with, “No matter where you’re from, you can bring new lifestyles and help other people”; “No matter how much you don’t know that new person, [it] doesn’t mean you can’t become friends.” Operation Purple Program Do you want to get in on the action this summer? The National Military Family Association’s Operation Purple camps are a time for having fun, making friends, and reminding military kids that they are the nation’s youngest heroes.
