many families, our employees have been hit especially hard. This is one way to help

parents who are part of the Bishop Museum ohana,” said Timothy Johns, President &

CEO.

Johns stated, “This program offers parents an alternative to the school day while

supporting our mission. It also provides a safe and wonderful learning environment for

our keiki.”

Bishop Museum‟s mission is to study, preserve, and tell the stories of the natural and

cultural history of Hawai„i and the Pacific.

Educational Programs

The Hawaii Operation: Military Kids Family Camp is intended to provide much needed time for Reserve, Guard, and Active Duty families to connect after a deployment or before a deployment. Most of the costs associated with attending camp, such as, food lodging, and activities are paid for by Operation: Military Kids, so we are able to offer the camp at affordable rates for families. While each location of camp is slightly different, some activities you might expect to do include archery, swimming, crafts, kayaking, hiking, ropes course, climbing wall, campfires, keiki-only groups and special events.

At camp you’ll have opportunities to participate in fun activities, show your creative talents, eat great buffet style meals, get to know other military and local families and meet our trained staff, or simply relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Accommodations are generally family cabins or dorm-style rooms that you will share with at least one other family, most have bathrooms and showers located in the cabin.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Who can attend family camp? Any active duty or activated reserve member of the Army, Air Force, Navy, USMC, National Guard, Air National Guard, or Coast Guard and is a family that has in the past 12 months been through a deployment, is preparing for one, or a family who currently has a family member deployed. There are no age limitations on camp; infants are welcome but there is no “child care” at camp.

Who is “family”? Mother, Father, Brother(s), Sister(s), or an individual that has legal power of attorney to act as “parents”.

When are camps held? Operation: Military Kids is planning camps for Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Big Island from March 2009 through September. Check the website below for up-to-date information.

Who runs the camps? OMK is a cooperative effort with many partners, including 4-H, but the YMCA of Honolulu and YMCA Camp Erdman play a critical role in all family camps. OMK and the YMCA understand the needs for youth, and their families to have time together in a supportive environment to rest and recover from the stress of a recent deployment, or to spend quality time together due to a current deployment or someone is soon to be deployed.

Who pays for the camp? Families pay a modest fee, and Operation: Military Kids (OMK) pays the rest. OMK is the U.S. Army’s collaborative effort with America’s communities to support the children and youth impacted by deployment in ALL branches. This initative was launched in April 2005. Operation: Military Kids, as part of the 4-H/Army Youth Development Project, is a vital part of the Army Integrated Family Support Network (AIFSN) delivery system.

For more information about Operation: Military Kids please contact: 956-4125 or email omk@ctahr.hawaii.edu
