Statewide Camps and Programs for Military Families

We honor military families by providing free weekend camps for children ages 5-17 (with or without disabilities) of currently serving military personnel and veteran service members. Campers come from families facing military deployments, relocation, combat trauma, or even the loss of a loved one. Military camps promote teambuilding and leadership skills and positive self-esteem while providing ways for children to connect with their peers, share stories, and create lifelong friendships.

Project Beacon 

A FREE co-ed overnight camp for children 5-17 of currently serving and veteran military service members of any branch. This program is a great way for kids to get away and enjoy some time at camp. Activities include group games, arts and crafts, climbing wall and zip line, s'mores and so much more! Join us for this fun weekend! Retreats are held in April and October.

Project Beacon provides an opportunity for our amazing and resilient kids to participate in activities with peers, giving them a sense of normalcy...once bonds are formed, relationships with military families surpass time and distance...These bonds will last a lifetime.

Family members and friends play a critical role in a Veteran’s life, especially during difficult times. Whatever issues you and your loved one may be dealing with and however long they’ve been going on, you are not alone.  Support is available every day to Veterans, Service members, and their families and friends to help them connect with resources for managing life’s challenges and finding solutions that improve their lives.  Launched in 2011 by the US Department of Veteran Affairs, MakeTheConnection.net provides Veterans, their family members and friends, and other advocates with this valuable information.
