Marine Military Academy is a private boarding school in Harlingen, Texas – and the only school that uses the traditions of the US Marine Corps as the foundation of its curriculum and pedagogy. They believe that the military mindset isn't just for people who want to join the corps but for anyone who wants to develop discipline, leadership, and character.
It opens its doors to the public during the summer through short camps that combine military training with inspiring talks and bonding activities. It's a great way to get kids to unplug from their gadgets and spend the whole day outdoors.
Through rock climbing, zip lines, and high ropes challenges, they learn to face their fears and trust themselves and others. Drill and marching competitions teach self-discipline, while strategy games teach planning and problem-solving.
Campers go through obstacle courses, mud courses, combat fitness, and other physical activities to build muscle and perseverance. And of course, there are also fun sports like paintball and canoeing.
The MMA Summer Camp balances military rigor with a playful, motivational atmosphere to build both character and happy memories.
