Living Quarters
Campers are assigned to a company based on their age. Campers live two to a room in air-conditioned barracks. A drill instructor heads each company and strives to teach each camper self-discipline, positive habits and to live up to his potential.
Campers maintain a full and exciting schedule, which does not allow for routine communication. However, during downtime, campers are encouraged to write letters to their family members and friends so they can share the experience. In turn, MMA Summer Camp parents and family members are encouraged to send letters of encouragement to the campers. Parents and family members can keep up with summer camp happenings via MMA's Facebook, Flickr and youtube pages which are updated daily.
Discipline, Courage, Leadership
Every camper is expected to adhere to and benefit from the Marine Corps values that govern the Marine Military Academy - honor, courage and commitment. While a great deal of summer camp is about fun, it is equally focused on self-discipline and leadership. Each camper learns the importance of teamwork and positive reinforcement, while gaining valuable leadership skills.
A Unique Experience
Young men come to MMA Summer Camp from all over the world. They learn about different cultures, while engaging in activities most other boys will never experience in their lifetime. The camaraderie, team spirit and accomplishment each camper experiences will build their pride and self-assurance. They will have exciting stories to tell their friends and family.
Graduation Events
On the last day of the summer camp program, all campers participate in a graduation parade that takes place in front of the Iwo Jima Monument. After the parade, a graduation ceremony is held in front of the barracks. Each camper is formally presented with his certificate of completion.
