Operation Purple Camp Updates

Operation Purple is going really awesomely awesome....yesterday was military experience day...we had special forces medics come and demonstrate to children how soldiers stay healthy and safe in the field...special thanks Fort Bragg for sending those nice folks our way. We had several other folks visit, too. Columbia's Mayor and Town Manager were on hand as well as Betty Jo Shepard from Senator Burr's Office.

Our famous Counselor Swap night was really good...this is when counselors dress up as snother counselor...it is a chance for them to mock another friend...Orlando Dobbin was the crowd favorite with his rendition of Australia Native and Echo Party Cabin Counselor Steph Wiedenbach.

Last night's talent show was great, too. The "Fab 5" as they call themselves (Damien, Brad, Logan, Orlando, and Jordan) are all FUN cabin counselors that had a special dance to close out the show...it was a little weird but very funny.

Staff is working double hard this week to make sure the kids are extra excited...so far the mission has been accomplished.

Scott Enroughty, Operation: Military Kids Coordinator, was on hand to participate in the fun, as well. "Roughty", as some of us call him, is a lot of fun to have around...he likes to help out and is a pretty hilarious guy.

Next week we will be hosting North Carolina Grange's Summer Camp...Grange is always fun, especially the "Camp News" portion of their evening.

Today, The Center's Advisory Board is meeting...and the National Military Family Association's Chairperson of the Board is here - Mrs. Mary Scott.

Enjoy the day...
