Operation: Military Kids
2009 Summer Camps
Operation: Military Kids is a nationwide program began by the U.S. Army. Our goal is clear: to team with America’s communities to provide support to the children and youth of families impacted by deployments.
As part of OMK, the Florida 4-H Military Program supports the “suddenly military” families right here in Florida before, during and after parents are deployed. Focus is on the National Guard and Reserve members who are isolated from a military installation, but the program has been expanded to encompass all branches of service and the active duty families as well. With Extension in all Florida counties, a unique partnership is developed to assist military families.
Here are the dates for our 2009 Summer Camps:
22-26 JUN 09 Camp Ocala for 8-12 years old cost $50 per child
