Offering six different summer camp options, MMA summer camps provide an opportunity for children to step outside their comfort zone and overcome challenges through activities that develop a sense of pride in oneself.
MMA offers 6 different programs:
· Summer Academy is a for-credit academic summer program with two tracks – a middle school program (grades 7-8) and a high school program (grades 9-12) – each designed to simultaneously challenge students academically and physically, so they may hone their academic abilities while building confidence by expanding on their range of life experiences. Residential experience is available for boys, and day camp is available for boys and girls.
· Leadership Camp is for boys ages 12-17 and is designed to help young men understand the benefits and responsibilities of being a leader through supervised activities that provide an opportunity for development of personal independence, team-spirit and self-reflection. Leadership Camp is a boys-only residential camp.
· Confidence Camp is for ages 8-11 and provides young boys a fun, challenging environment where they are given activities designed to help them develop a sense of pride in themselves and their accomplishments while focusing on good decision-making and teamwork exercises. Confidence Camp is also a boys-only residential camp.
Regular activities offered at Summer Academy, Leadership Camp and Confidence Camp include and are not limited to: field trips, paintball, rappelling and rock-climbing wall, rifle marksmanship, pugil sticks, swimming, knot tying, first aid training with certification, high ropes, map reading, horseback riding, flag football, tennis, soccer, basketball, and more.
· Equestrian Camp is a co-ed half-day non-boarding camp for kids ages 8-18. It focuses on building confidence and responsibility through horseback riding. Campers will enjoy 3 hours of instruction each morning, which consists of daily trail rides through MMA’s beautiful 288-acre campus and learning different western horsemanship techniques, such as saddling, mounting, walking and galloping, along with other important horse management skills like safety, grooming and handling.
