Army Summer Camps for Kids

Army summer camps for kids, while different from correctional camps or facilities that might host juvenile delinquents, offer an organized and training-based regimen and experience for campers. Ranging from a "military adventure" experience to showcasing the physical and mental rigors of becoming an Army cadet, these camps offer children an understanding and preliminary taste of the discipline and physicality required to serve in the U.S. military. There are numerous camps nationwide from which to choose.
