About Family Focus

Dear Fort McCoy Family,
You are invited to participate in some Family Focus Fun.

Family Focus is committed to providing families in the Fort McCoy community quality activities, workshops, and events that are fun for the entire family.

Positive, fun family interaction builds stronger family roots, giving families a firmer foundation that will enable each member to better cope with the storm clouds of life.  The goal of Family Focus is to help families make those positive fun memories together….memories that will last a lifetime.

As a registered family in Family Focus you will have many opportunities to participate in family fun and receive free educational family books, workbooks, games and more.  You and your family may choose to participate in many activities or just a few, you decide on your involvement.

Each month Family Focus sponsors special workshops/activities/events.  You may need to pre-register to participate in some and in others just show up.  The events are advertised in monthly mailings to all registered Family Focus Families or you can obtain information by going to the ACS School House.

Each registered family will be eligible to collect Family Focus Franks, small plastic tokens with extreme family value.  

Earning Family Focus Franks is easy.  Participating in Family Focus workshops/events, Family Focus Bonus Frank coupon activities, and using the Family Focus Activity Stamp Cards are all ways to earn Franks.

Redeeming Family Focus Franks, Bonus Frank coupons and Activity Stamps is about working toward a family goal.  Your family may want to accumulate a large value to be redeemed for one large prize.   Or your family may decide to redeem lesser values more often to earn a variety of smaller prizes.   Whichever goal your family decides to work towards your reward will be the positive effects of teamwork  and family cohesiveness your family members will carry with them into the future.   

When you complete and return the Family Focus registration form you will receive a Family Focus Activity Stamp Card.  On the back of each card is a listing of locations on Fort McCoy where you may go to participate in activities that will earn your family a Family Focus Stamp.  To qualify for a stamp, at least one registered adult must participate in the activity with child(ren).  You must present your card at each location to receive your stamp. The Fort McCoy activity employee will stamp, date & initial your card.   Stamps without the date and initials will not be accepted.  Each filled stamp card is worth 25 Family Focus Franks. 

Sound easy?  It is!  Sound like fun?  Come and see! 
For more information or to receive a registration form please feel free to call or email Army Community Service at 388-3505.
