Summer Campers take on the Obstacle Course<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/a>
\nOne of this year\u2019s summer campers favorite events is the Obstacle Course (affectionately known as the “O-Course”), and \u2013 believe it or not \u2013 climbing the ropes all the way to the very top \u2018tops\u2019 the list! As they clutch, grasp and pull their way to the rope\u2019s most northern point, they smack the top and shout out, \u201cCamper\u2019s Smith, Alpha Company\u201d with all their might, and the rest of the company breaks out in a hearty round of \u201cOOH RAH\u2019s\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0031\"<\/a>The obstacle course helps summer campers develop and test basic motor skills including speed and agility and coordination. The Marine Military Academy’s course’s obstacles are also designed to help condition the camper. The obstacles are relatively low and must be quickly negotiated. There is also a mental aspect to the course. Many of the obstacles allow the camper the chance to plan a strategy, make split-second decisions, learn teamwork and demonstrate leadership.
