Every two years camp Ripley opens its doors to the community to host an open house. They use the open house to have a little fun and to build partnerships with the communities.

Attendees could meet and talk with soldiers. Explore the military vehicles and learn about what goes on at camp Ripley and what they have to offer.

Throughout the day three thousand people came to camp Ripley to explore the vehicles and to take part in community appreciation day.  Although the attendees wanted to express their gratitude to the soldiers for their service. It was really the soldiers who were grateful for the years of support from the community.
