Operation Purple Camp Deployment Line
Deborah Schroeder, Selfridge Family Readiness director, and her staff help children from the Operation Purple Camp program try on military protective gear during a day-camp held at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., on July 17. Operation Purple Camp was designed for children of military members with parents who are deployed or will deploy to help the children develop and maintain healthy relationships in spite of the current military deployment tempo. The children participated with arts and crafts, ran an obstacle course, went through a mock deployment line, played games, and toured select areas of the base.
