Mission Summer 2026: Adventure, Leadership & Confidence for Boys and Girls

Action. Challenge. Growth. 

Welcome to the Midwest’s biggest, boldest backyard. 

At Missouri Military Academy, summer isn’t downtime — it’s mission time. Across 288 acres of fields, forests, rivers, lakes and trails, MMA creates unforgettable summer experiences for boys and girls that build courage and confidence, strengthen teamwork and inspire leadership.

Campers trade screens for real-life excitement, form lasting friendships and take on thrilling challenges like paintball, rappelling, obstacle courses and more, all in a structured, supportive environment designed to help them grow.

In 2026, MMA introduces an updated lineup of four powerful summer experiences, from academic acceleration to outdoor adventure. Whether your child is discovering new strengths or ready to push their limits, there’s a mission waiting.

A Note on Technology: More Life, Less Screen. At MMA camps, phones are checked in at registration, with scheduled calling times and easy access for families in emergencies. Summer Academy students use laptops for academic work but have limited recreational screen time.  

Mission-ready for Commando Camp or Mission Command! Teamwork and grit are on full display during this high-adrenaline adventure.
