- Children and adolescents participated in a one-week Operation Purple Camp intervention (a summer camp intended to empower military families and their children to develop and maintain healthy relationships during the course of deployments) to test the effect of the camp on self-perceptions of social acceptance, athletic confidence, and global selfworth. Adolescents showed significant improvement after the camp in perceptions of social acceptance and athletic competence, and children showed improvement in perceptions of global self-worth.
