Of the 22 JROTC programs supported by our Chapter in Middle Georgia, five of these programs are located within Houston County (Warner Robins area) and, over the past decade, these schools have combined to offer a one week summer camp creating a wonderful leadership experience for the cadets.  They attend educational programs and are exposed to leadership, discipline and traditional military values.

In June 2019, approximately 105 cadets attended this program where they were challenged both mentally and physically with exercises that require teamwork to successfully complete.  The end result is a group of cadets who have experienced the camaraderie and increased confidence that comes from their efforts.  The week is capped off with a pass in review parade.

Returning cadets are selected for leadership positions while the adult leadership provides overall guidance and direction to the week’s activities.  Led by a senior military officer along with a cadre of experienced NCOs and other support staff, they have developed an impressive program where the cadets are instilled with intangible traits that will enhance their lifelong successes.

Costs for the summer programs are significantly defrayed through corporate and other sponsors (to include the Middle Georgia chapter) in order to minimize the cost to the participating cadets.
