Project Title: Camp Corral Summer 2026
Project Description:

Camp Corral Summer 2026 will provide transformational, cost-free summer camp experiences to children ages 8–15 from military families affected by a parent’s illness, injury, or loss related to military service. Designed to address the unique emotional, social, and behavioral challenges faced by military-connected youth, Camp Corral’s summer camps offer a safe, inclusive environment where children can heal, build resilience, and form lasting connections with peers who share similar experiences.

In summer 2026, Camp Corral will partner with accredited camps across the country to deliver one-week, overnight camp sessions at no cost to families. Programs feature traditional camp activities alongside structured, trauma-informed programming focused on social-emotional learning, confidence building, and healthy coping skills. All camps are led by trained staff who understand the complexities of military family life and the impacts of service-related trauma.

Camp Corral removes financial, geographic, and emotional barriers to participation, ensuring access for families regardless of income or location. Each child’s experience is intentionally designed to foster belonging, independence, and joy—outcomes that are often difficult to achieve in daily life for children navigating ongoing stress at home.

Through Camp Corral Summer 2026, participating children will return home with increased self-esteem, stronger peer relationships, and practical tools to manage stress and adversity. Families report improved communication, emotional regulation, and overall well-being following their child’s camp experience. By continuing to scale its national summer camp program, Camp Corral remains committed to supporting military-connected children during critical developmental years and strengthening the long-term health of military families.
