Welcome to the Midwest's biggest, baddest backyard! This ain’t a video game. It’s the real deal – 288 acres of woods, fields, rocks, creeks and ponds are here to be explored and enjoyed. And our military-trained leaders are here to show your son the ropes.

MMA's Leadership Camp (ages 12-17) and Confidence Camp (8-11) is a military leadership camp for boys who enjoy a challenge. These camps are a unique experience that taps into what many boys are looking for at this age - fun, adventure, military-style activity and the chance to be a leader.

These rigorous programs teach campers the basics of leadership while exposing them to a wide variety of adventurous and physically challenging activities. Boys will build their self-confidence by challenging themselves and learning the value of teamwork.

Activities: The camp has an active schedule that includes daily physical training, paintball, rappelling, rifle marksmanship, canoeing, Pugil sticks, swimming, knot tying, leadership reaction course, first aid training with certification and map reading, and much more!

Camp staff: Campers are supervised at all times by camp leaders and counselors. Most of our camp leaders are full-time faculty and staff at MMA (and many are former military officers), and camp counselors are often MMA alumni who are ready to lead new campers through the fun experiences they had on campus when they were younger.

Camp Director and MMA Commandant Col. Rick Grabowski has extensive experience working with cadets at MMA. Col. Grabowski and his staff are experienced teachers and military leaders who impart the values of leadership, good character, self-discipline and teamwork in every boy at MMA.

Confidence Camp Cost: $1,300 per session (can take up to 3 sessions)
