- Helps provide 100 campers from active duty military families with 1 week of fun at summer camp in 2014.
- Provides an opportunity for the “kids who serve” to experience horseback riding, archery, zip lines, and much more.
- Connects the children of military families with their peers.
- Provides a Military Life/Family Counselor (MFLAC) as support.
- Helps provide a connection with military personnel from all branches of the armed forces.
- Allows a week of respite for the military spouse who is at home during a long deployment.
