This kind of talk is common among kids at camp anywhere, but some kids can't just call up their parents to brag. Operation Purple Camp is a joint venture of the National Military Family Association and the Sierra Club. In 2010 60 week-long camps all over the United States served 10,000 children of deployed servicemen and women, for a total of more than 30,000 campers since the inception of the program in 2004. To be part of the program, camps must apply and participate in a special training program to ensure the camp will be well focused on the needs and experiences of the campers. Here's a video segment from the program "American Veteran," showing the camp and campers in action.
