Operation Purple Summer Challenge

We’re inviting all military kids to take part in our fifth year of virtual programming and our second year of Operation Purple Summer Challenge—a free, from-anywhere experience to stay entertained and connected with military kids and families across the globe this summer. 

Who can participate?  

Operation Purple Summer Challenge invites kids from Pre-K to 8th grade to participate in self-paced challenges from anywhere in the world! 

When is it? 

Every week in June and July, families will receive a challenge that focuses on doing good, being good, and feeling good which can be completed from the comfort of your home! 

Global Gatherings are back!

Every Friday of the challenge we will be hosting live virtual sessions where participants can come together, show off their challenge work, meet some cool guests and maybe even learn something new!

Activities are fun and easy!  

Kids can earn a badge for each week they complete an Independent or Family Challenge to collect on their very own Operation Purple Summer Challenge pennant. At the end of the summer, we’ll raffle off some amazing prizes to 3 lucky Explorers and 3 Adventurers. There’s also a chance to win a family grand prize!
