Summer Camps 2026

Welcome to the Midwest’s biggest, baddest backyard!

At Missouri Military Academy, summer is more than a season — it’s a mission. Across 288 acres of fields, forests, rivers, lakes and trails, campers take on challenges that inspire courage, strengthen teamwork, and build leaders.

Every camper leaves stronger, prouder, and ready for what’s next.

Leave the video games and phones behind. At MMA summer camps, boys and girls trade screens for real-life action and friendships!

“Everett can't stop talking about how much he loved MMA! Thank you for what you do, and helping my son develop into a leader and a disciplined young man. I'm sure it won't be the last you see of us!” — Jennifer Ley, mother of a camper.
