Admission Resize text Operation Desert Storm began in 1991 after President Saddam Hussein of Iraq ordered the invasion and occupation of neighboring Kuwait in early August 1990. It began with a massive U.S.–led air offensive. After 42 days of relentless attacks, U.S. President George H.W. Bush declared a ceasefire on February 28. Campers create dioramas and fight battles with miniature soldiers, as well as engage in group–strategy games using large geographical maps. Fictional and nonfiction accounts, graphic novels, reference books, and related films and documentaries give campers a grounding in the period’s history.
