Extreme Military Challenge Camp

Extreme Military Challenge Camp (XMC), hosted at Camp Liberty in Battleground, Alabama, is renowned for being the foremost military summer camp in the United States, proudly sponsored by the U.S. Army Cadet Command 1st Brigade. Celebrated for providing teens aged 13-18 with an unparalleled military camp experience, XMC focuses on fostering self-confidence, motivation, leadership, and discipline among its attendees. XMC offers an array of programs ranging from 2 to 7 weeks, including Cadet Basic Training and the Cadet Field Leader Course, aimed at both first-year and returning cadets. The camp's senior staff ensure a rich, safe, and realistic military training environment, steering clear of being a corrective or disciplinary institution.
