You🌿 Caregiver Wellness Event – Maryland Chapter of Blue Star Families 🌿

Caregiving within a military family can be beautiful — and incredibly demanding. Whether you’re caring for a service member, child, parent, medically separated service member or veteran, navigating deployments, or holding everything together at home… you are a caregiver. And you deserve care, too.

Join the Maryland Chapter of Blue Star Families for a free virtual wellness event created exclusively for military-connected caregivers on:

📅 Thursday, June 25, 2026
🕦 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM

Blue Star Families recognizes that caregivers come in many forms—because spouses are caregivers too, and every caregiving journey matters.

You give so much to others. Let us give something back to you.

✨ What to Expect:
• A guided opportunity to pause and recharge
• Meaningful conversation with fellow caregivers who understand military life
• Dedicated time intentionally set aside just for you
• A wellness self-care gift mailed to the first 20 registered participants, filled with treats to support your continued relaxation at home

This is more than a single event—it’s an opportunity to connect with caregivers across our Maryland military community and begin building meaningful relationships and lasting support networks.

⚠️ Space is limited, and registration is open to the first 20 participants. Use this link to register - https://neighborhood.bluestarfam.org/topics/29322/events/271867

Come pause. Come connect. Come build community with us.

This caregiver gathering is intentionally designed for adult caregivers (18+) to ensure a safe and supportive space for open and honest conversation.

Operation Purple® Camp was built on the belief that military kids deserve a space of their own. No cost. No barriers. Just a week with kids who get it.

Since 2004, more than 70,000 military-connected children have attended. And every summer, demand exceeds capacity.

The need is real. So is the impact.
