Gold Star Family Weekend
Honoring the Families of our Fallen Heroes
In recognition of our military heroes who died while serving our country on active duty, we invite you and your family to be our guests for a weekend of camaraderie, fun, and sharing at Camp Ripley near Little Falls, Minnesota.
We invite families of military fallen from all wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, Desert Storm, Vietnam, Korea, WWII and the conflicts in-between) to be our guests for an amazing weekend planned exclusively for you and your family at Camp Ripley near Little Falls, Minnesota. 
Camp Ripley is a 53,000 acre regional training facility for our military, federal, state, local and civilian communities. Camp Ripley relies on its expertise in environmental stewardship to maintain its training resources. The staff at Camp Ripley have opened their gates to our families for this special weekend.
