NJ military families invited to attend free weekend camp

By On Deck Staff

Attention all military families in New Jersey. Operation: Military Kids (OMK) will host a Family Camp at Rutgers Lindley G. Cook 4-H Camp in Branchville, NJ on Sept. 11, 12 and 13.
The free program is open to all military families who have experienced deployment. The camp includes activities like archery, fishing, canoeing, photography, arts and crafts, hiking, cooking and creating a family memory books.
“This program was designed to give military families the opportunity to reconnect and bond in an outdoor environment. By spending quality time together, trying new things and learning new skills at camp, families can rebuild bonds that may have weakened during military deployment,” said Rachel Lyons, Morris County 4-H agent and NJ OMK project director.
Space is limited and reservations are accepted on a first-come, first–serve basis. Applications and permission forms are due by Sept. 4, with a $50 deposit that will be refunded at the close of the program.
