| Description: |
Summer Camps in Texas at the Marine Military Academy are for boys, age 13 through 17, who are looking for adventure. The camp is located at the Marine Military Academy (MMA) in Harlingen, TX. MMA is the only military school in the world patterned after the time-honored traditions of the Marine Corps. Just as in the Marine Corps, there are many factors that make an individual successful.
Activities
The summer camps Texas philosophy is Carpe Diem-seize the day! Each young man soon discovers what really counts is not just how many hours you put in each day, but what you put into each hour you have in a day.
This is not a time to stop learning . Campers will experience first hand that how vital it is to successfully participate in team sports. They soonrealize that interpersonal relationships, both in sports and other areas of life, are based upon mutual respect and trust. Team sports are an essential part of the fun/learning concept. These boys summer camps activities turn an ordinary summer into an extraordinary adventure.
Just look at these military summer camps outdoor activities... The "Iron Man"activity combines team competition that requires campers to negotiate eight to ten physical obstacles which include a mud course, paint ball competition, obstacle course, fireman's carry, rifle range, and other individual events located throughout the campus. This is the same course that local Marine Reservists use for training on a regular basis.
The Military Department utilizes the new Leadership Enhancement And Development (LEAD) Complex to develop individual confidence, promote physical endurance and mental sharpness, provide intense hands-on leadership learning experiences that emphasize fast diecision-making, enhance team-based problem solving capabilities, and strengthen rapid and focused leadership techniques.
The Results
The goal of the Marine Military Academy summer camp is for each camper to leave standing a little taller and a little straighter because he has achieved a great feeling of accomplishment. Parents often remark how much taller their sons seem in just a few short weeks. It is not just in inches, it's THE GREAT DISCOVERY that when he gave his full effort, he was stretched to his full capacity, and he stood to his full stature.....and it felt good.

Each summer the Marine Military Academy runs a variety of programs for boys, ages 13-17. These programs include the MMA Summer Camp and the English as a Second Language program as well as some 'by invitation" programs such as Football and Band camp. The two main programs (Summer camp and ESL) run the month of July. Cadets are formed into company units grouped by age, supervised by a retired Marine Staff Non-commissioned Officer and are introduced into numerous activities that challenge them both mentally and physically.
