He really had a great time! It was a good experience for him, and I already see the results. It was truly rewarding! I was very pleased how these two weeks transformed my son [for] the better. — Anara Frank, mother of camper
I am so impressed with all that my son learned in just 12 days at Leadership Camp! What an excellent experience for a young man. — MMA Leadership Camp parent
This may not be a big deal for many parents but this is huge for our family. (Our son) attended the Leadership Camp, and we continue to see the dividends. This is his first award he’s ever received at school in his life. I’m so proud I could cry. Thank you again, MMA! — MMA camp mom after her 8th grade son received an award at school

I couldn’t be prouder of my son for embarking on an incredible journey at the Confidence Camp, hosted by Missouri Military Academy. It was a week filled with personal growth, courage, resilience, teamwork and a remarkable sense of independence. Seeing him thrive away from home, without any contact for a whole week, has truly amazed me. Thank you to the exceptional staff for creating such a transformative experience. — Chi Ho, parent of Tristan Ho, from Schaumburg, Illinois

Samuel had so much fun. He would like to return next summer. Thank you for all you have done for Samuel! — MMA Confidence Camp parent
