MCJROTC

A small group of cadets looking to be physically challenged with teamwork and leadership skills; these cadets must be able to work together to complete several physically taxing tasks, such as obstacle courses, rucks, runs, and building a rope bridge.

A five-day camp in June for roughly 25 trustworthy cadets. This camp tests each cadet’s ability to work as a team and to show good leadership skills. The cadets work each day, accomplishing obstacle courses, land navigation, water safety, rappel tower, and paint ball. This camp offers many rewards, and the five-day challenges each cadet, both physically and mentally. Without outside electronics and familiarity, each individual must rely on talking to one another and building a strong family bond.

An intensive, week-long drill camp in Texas. Over the summer, 2-4 cadets, handpicked by the SMI and MI, can improve their skills and leadership through teamwork and physical & mental endurance. Cadets can choose to improve their skills in either the armed or unarmed division and can focus on IDR and/or Color Guard.  

A week-long camp at Trine University in Indiana, the American Legion Auxiliary hosts a program that educates future high school seniors on how local, county, and state-level governments operate. These selected students participate in the campaigning and voting processes to get elected to various offices and are educated about what each office does on a day-to-day basis to keep their cities, counties, and countries running. Girls’ State has higher expectations for dress code and performance, with many daily challenges that offer opportunities for young leaders to grow.
