Program Overview

Camp Hero provides opportunities for military children to make meaningful connections. For military children, who may face moving to a new city, state, and school every two to three years, these friendships, support networks, and memories last a lifetime.

Camp Hero focuses on:

  • Building confidence and enhancing self-image
  • Improving social skills that reflect age-appropriate behavior
  • Teaching conflict resolution and the healthy management and expression of anger
  • Increasing bonds with family and friends
  • Equipping military children and families with tools and resources to cope with the challenges of military life

The Camp Hero experience is broken down by weekly themes that enhance each child’s learning experience. Camp Hero takes place every Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer break.
