Children in six stateside military communities will get the opportunity to attend a free ProCamps event courtesy of a Procter & Gamble (P&G) promotion, available near select Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) commissaries and military exchanges.
The two-day camps, led by NFL football players, are open to the children (ages 6-14) of active-duty military, reservists, retirees and Department of War (DoW) civilian employees.
