Extreme Military Challenge | United States
“Among the thousands of hands I shook {…} few stood out as much as the group of young men and women I met from Extreme Military Challenge. Their passion and energy {…} can serve as an inspiration for all. “
– Former Secretary of the Army Eric Fanning
Extreme Military Challenge! Military Summer Camp (XMC) is the premier program of its type, offering military camps for teens that are realistic and safe. While most of our participants have a serious interest in a possible military career we have many who attend for a unique experience that will help improve themselves whether it be their motivation, leadership skills, confidence, discipline or just their overall fitness. XMC is NOT a correctional camp and we do NOT accept participants with behavioral issues (see our FAQ). Unlike many programs we make no exceptions to this rule. Learn more about XMC in our Admissions Guide.
The senior staff of Extreme Military Challenge! have 30+ years of experience running Military Summer Camps in locations throughout the United States, providing thousands of teenagers the opportunity to become more self-confident, self motivated, and better informed on whether a military career is right for them. XMC has first-year programs from 2 to 7 weeks long and provides training to 300+ each summer. First-year participants attend at least our 2-week Cadet Basic Training with most also adding our Cadet Field Leader Course or one of our various other options. Returning Cadets from previous years can choose from a variety of programs each summer. The best way to learn about all our options is to read our Admissions Guide or our Dates and Rates page.
We are confident that XMC is the best choice as a military summer camp (“boot camp”) for teens (girls and boys) ages 13-18 who are interested in challenging themselves during the summer. Extreme Military Challenge!, operated by Liberty Communications, LLC, takes place at Camp Liberty in Battleground, Alabama. Participants come from all over the USA and the world to attend XMC, with over 50% flying in each year and XMC Staff retrieving them from the airport. XMC has had participants from more than 45 states and 25 countries. Another program may be closer, but that does not mean it is a better choice for your son/daughter.
No other program in the nation has a staff as qualified or with the depth of experience as the Cadre of Extreme Military Challenge!. We are confident we have the most experienced staff and the best instructor to participant ratio available. You won’t find a military adventure camp, military school summer program or teen leadership camp better than Extreme Military Challenge!.

Extreme Military Challenge Summer Camp Location Page
Extreme Military Challenge! is executed on the premiere training site Camp Liberty (Camp-Liberty.com) in Battleground, Alabama, ten minutes from Cullman, Alabama (and I-65) and approximately 45 from both Huntsville, AL and Birmingham, AL. Don’t let location fool you! Other programs that seem similar may be closer to you, but that does not mean they would be the best choice for your son/daughter.
While many Extreme Military Challenge! participants have parents drive-in and drop them off for the summer, we also have more than 50% that fly-in through the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM). We have staff that greet them at the airport and we can bring them back for their flight at the end of the summer. Our participants come in from all over the country and all over the world. More than 42 states and 18 countries as of 2018.
We sincerely believe that no other program can compare to the quality and experience provided by Extreme Military Challenge!. Camp Liberty was purchased in 2016 to be our dedicated facility to accommodate out-growing the location we had previously rented each summer. Owning Camp Liberty has allowed us to purpose-build the property to be uniquely suited for a military summer camp. Since locating at Camp Liberty we have had 1000+ participants attend XMC to great success. In addition to our summer programs Camp Liberty has been host to a number of military veteran retreats and reunions. To see our latest projects and site improvements we suggest you take a look at Facebook.com/XMCCamp .
Some Camp Liberty highlights include:
Lodging for over 300.
Property built circa. 2005 with new buildings added 2016 and 2020.
Constant renovations and upkeep with new improvements/expansions yearly.
New air-conditioning in all Barracks and the Dining Facility.
Completely separate buildings for Male and Female Challengers, located on opposite sides of the property.
76 Acre Facility with Field Training locations, including the “Cadet Ranger Village”, low-ropes course and rappel tower.
On-site Obstacle Course.

Camp Liberty is a special place, dedicated to the men and women of the Armed Forces and our First Responders, who epitomize the American Spirit! Daily bugle calls and the raising and lowering of Old Glory during Retreat ceremonies conducted by the Cadets and Recruits of XMC aim to honor the men and women that have served and fought for our liberty. We hope you will join us this summer at Camp Liberty. If you have further questions regarding our location or any aspect of our courses please call us at 855-962-2267.
——————————
The following is a letter from Joe Land, Sr, President of Liberty Communications related to the purchase of Camp Liberty at the start of 2016. XMC had grown to the point where its previous location was no longer feasible and so a dedicated property was purchased:
“DEAR XMC FAMILY – Please take a close look at this Facebook page: facebook. com/CampLibertyAL for a view of “Camp Liberty.” Please pass this page to family and friends and be sure to “Like” it.
I will make a very long story short…after our winter Cadet Tactical Skills Training Course, the XMC staff determined – based on feedback from cadre and personal observations – that the facilities we were using were not fully suitable for our current and projected missions. As a result, we started 2016 by searching for other options throughout the country, which – I am very pleased to announce – resulted in our final decision to purchase our new home, which conveniently continues to be in Alabama.
Liberty Communications, LLC, has entered into a final purchase agreement to permanently acquire a 75 acre former camp property located in Battleground, Alabama (45 minutes north of Birmingham). The new “Camp Liberty” is a far superior facility and a much better business value for our company. As a result of the cost savings, we will be able to build exactly what we need for this summer and the future, making “Camp Liberty” the unquestionable “Center of Excellence” for Cadet training nationwide.
We are finalizing the construction of a new 5,000 sf barracks building to be completed by this summer. The barracks will have two large squad bays (about 64 beds each, plus two “DI Huts”). That building will provide a very realistic Basic Training environment, with traditional metal “racks,” foot lockers and large open space for “hip pocket training.”
One of my near-term goals for “Camp Liberty” is to host international students visiting our great nation. Far too often people from other countries form their opinion of the United States based on late-night TV, thinking that our entire country is just one huge city. With that in mind, we will be able to provide an exceptional view of the USA – both city and rural – since we are centrally located close to a number of exciting locations:
a. Cullman, Alabama (Hospital, Swimming Pool, Veterans Memorial Park, etc.) – 15 minutes
b. Bankhead National Forest (180,000 acres+) – 20 minutes
c. U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama – 45 minutes
d. Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport – 1 hour. Nashville, Tennessee – 2 hours
f. Fort McClellan Army National Guard Training Center – 2 hours
g. Atlanta, Georgia – 3 hours
h. Fort Campbell, Kentucky – 3 hours
The physical and mailing address for Camp Liberty is:15719 Alabama Highway 157 Battleground, Alabama 35179
The arrival airport will continue to be Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM), which is within an hour of Camp Liberty.
Please watch this forum for a number of upcoming “working parties” and special events where you can assist us in preparation for this summer’s programming. If you have skills, resources or materials which may be helpful, or just a little extra time, please feel free to reach out to us. We would welcome all the support we can get! This is a GREAT move for all of us. The operation of Camp Liberty will position XMC to be unparalleled in providing high-quality and extremely realistic military career exploration summer programs for our Cadets and recruits. During the off-season, we will also provide a multitude of opportunities for civilian and uniformed adults by hosting retreats, special events (weddings, reunions, etc.) and a variety of tactical training programs.
Having been privileged to work with young people for over 30 years, I am confident that my team and I will not only meet the extremely high standards of our previous programs, but exceed them as we implement new facilities and training platforms. As you can imagine, this has been a major undertaking which will serve thousands in the future. I hope you are as excited about this announcement as we are! We’re going to have a GREAT summer at Extreme Military Challenge! I look forward to hosting you at “Camp Liberty” in the near future! Mega-Hooah!

The Better Alternative to Summer Boot Camps for Teens
Any parent with a troubled teen has been where you are. At their wit’s end, not knowing how they got here in the first place and unsure of what steps to take next. You know your teen needs help beyond what you can offer, but you don’t know what that help should look like.
What are boot camps for teens?
Summer boot camps for teens are modeled after military training programs and typically include a drill sergeant, strict routine and physical punishments. The first part of the program is designed to break teens down, using discipline and harsh treatment. Through the process, teens are supposed to learn obedience to authority and self-control.
Deceptive changes
Summer boot camps for teens highlight their ability to radically transform teens from disrespectful and defiant to peaceful and compliant. Their claims are often true. Troubled teens make extraordinary changes in the program. However, the results are deceiving. Though your teen might take great strides in the right direction, the nature of boot camps for teens does not promote long lasting change.
Fear vs. Respect
Summer discipline camps teach adolescents to obey authority, which is ideal for any parent struggling with a troubled teen. The reason they obey, though, is out of fear, not respect. As soon as they return home from boot camp, away from the domineering authorities and highly structured environment, teens will soon revert back to old behaviors.
Wilderness therapy: a better alternative to a summer boot camps for teens
Teens will not get the same results from running in the mud carry a 30-pound sack while performing sets of pushups every quarter mile as they would learning to set up a camp with shelter and fire by cooperating with peers. Unlike summer boot camps for youth, wilderness therapy programs provide long-term results by treating the entire person mentally, physically and emotionally.
Summer boot camps for teens do not address the emotional issues of teens. They often make underlying issues worse, by causing the teens to hide their emotions and fears.
Wilderness therapy programs provide the therapeutic element that many summer boot camps are missing. Instead of focusing on a change in behavior, wilderness therapy focuses on a deeper change in the person as a whole. By recognizing there is often a cause for the behavior coupled with a lack of proper communication skills, root issues can be addressed and not simply covered up through obedient behavior.
If you are struggling with a troubled teen and don’t know where else to turn, reconsider a summer boot camp for teens. Though they claim to achieve drastic results, the change is likely to be temporary and could result in further emotional harm to your son or daughter.

Summer Boot Camp for Trouble Teens
Creating Change by Having Fun
At Summerland Camps we take an inspiring and uplifting approach to behavioral change. We teach our campers how top performing athletes change their behaviors to reach certain goals for strength, endurance, and performance. The same principles apply to our objectives at camp. At a summer boot camp for troubled teens that ignores behavioral change methodology, it is unlikely the camper will walk away with the skills to effectively measure, plan, and execute targeted behaviors.
To Change Behavior, We Start By Measuring
Here is a universal truth behind behavioral change. One of the most effective ways to start changing behaviors is to measure it. Otherwise how are we to know if any interventions are effective?
Any effective weight loss program for example is built around tracking. Some track calories, some track carbs or fat, and some track exercise and movement. Bottom line is that all effective weight loss programs are built around measuring and tracking behaviors. The same is true for changing other behaviors, such as stopping smoking or gambling, or on the other side building savings or increasing athletic performance. All performance psychologists know: to change behavior, we must begin by tracking.
Summer Boot Camp for Troubled Teens: The Summerland Camps Difference
At Summerland Camps one of our unique perspectives is that we take a positive approach. We get our campers excited about the future by showing them the secrets to effective behavioral change. Our campers receive behavior planning journals where they set daily goals to limit screen time activity, plan exercise, and organize school work.
As our campers see success on a daily basis, it motivates them to keep moving forward. They become excited by the possibilities for the future as they regain control over their lives. Small victories each day create a snowball effect as they put focus on the real influences on their lives. Campers realize it’s not everyone else to blame – it’s themselves- they are in control over their own lives and can set their own path. At Summerland Camps we show young people the path to happiness and success.

Alternatives to Summer Boot Camps for Teens
Many parents who believe their child needs a reality check may believe their child needs a strict routine that teaches them discipline, accountability, and structure. Tough-love approaches are assumed to keep kids in line. Summer boot camps for troubled teens became popular in the 1980’s that used evidence-based military-style interventions to instill these principles. However, military training was designed to prepare people for combat, not for personal success. Teens were scared straight rather than guided towards the straight and narrow with the skills they needed to be able to continue on their own. Alternatives to choosing summer boot camps for teens include wilderness therapy programs that combine adventure activities with survival skills and emotion regulation techniques.
Military Structure of Boot Camps
The connotation of boot camps can be misleading. We’ve incorporated their foundations into high-intensity exercise classes and intensive job skills training programs that acknowledge the effectiveness of its structure; however, it takes away from the relational part of learning. Boot camps are a form of behavior modification therapy that use positive and negative reinforcement but do not offer therapy for underlying issues. Instructors are trained as commanders rather than mentors. Program activities include physically challenging manual labor and community service and restrict time for self-reflection. Progress is measured by physical strength and completion of tasks rather than individualized growth.
The main criticism of boot camps is the way they instill fear into their students to teach them to submit to authority. Many boot camps use physical aggression scare tactics to teach students that their consequences have actions. Many students complete these programs with a fear of failure rather than personal goals for success. Although many students have positive outcomes, they struggle to stay away from negative behaviors long term, as they were taught to break the habit but not taught to deal with other problems. The structure of boot camps can be hard to transition out of. Sometimes, boot camps can do more harm than good. If your teen is struggling with following rules and respecting your authority at home, the militaristic style of boot camps can lead to deeper anger and resentment. Fighting fire with fire can amplify negative effects.
Therapeutic Environment of Wilderness
While many students sent to boot camps are referred through the justice system or struggle with externalizing behaviors such as aggression, truancy, theft, and substance use and may benefit from a tough-love model, therapeutic wilderness programs are designed to help students connect with nature and learn to manage their emotions. Our students struggle with emotional issues, such as depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Our objective as a therapeutic program is to help students:
Manage their emotions by learning how to communicate about their emotional experiences. We teach self-regulation skills like mindfulness to help students when they feel overwhelmed.
Rebuild and strengthen family relationships through regular family contact and family therapy. Relationships, between staff, therapists, and family, are an important part of our students’ experience in wilderness. Many of our activities require group effort and teach students how to collaborate with others and to apply leadership skills in their personal lives.
Take personal responsibility for their actions without a fear of consequences. We encourage students to look at what situations brought them there, but emphasize the importance of moving forward. We teach personal responsibility through outdoor skills, cooking, and self-care.
Build greater self-confidence through participation in fun, but emotionally challenging adventure activities.
Redefine their internal locus of control by realizing what situations they do and do not have control over and to gain skills to help them make autonomous decisions.

90,000 Children’s and youth camps abroad, vacations abroad
The word “study”, uttered in the summer alone, can spoil the mood of any cheerful tomboy. But try adding “study abroad in the summer” – your child’s curiosity and enthusiasm will not be long in coming. If you want your child to study a foreign language with pleasure and without reminders, see the world, make new friends from many countries and return home filled with new experiences – send him on vacation to a language camp abroad.
One of the main advantages of such camps abroad for children and adolescents is full immersion in the language environment. Classes are taught by experienced teachers, native speakers. As a rule, it is forbidden to use native speech in the camp, and it is useless: in the new conditions, a foreign language is becoming the only effective means of communication. The cost of vouchers often already includes a variety of excursions and acquaintance with cultural and natural attractions. Therefore, language camps abroad are also a chance to get to know the country, its inhabitants, customs, history, which incredibly expands the horizons of any child.Therefore, there is probably no better recreation for children than a camp abroad.
We offer:
Holidays with benefit
Summer camps abroad are open for children from the age of 7 years, some – even for kids from 3 years old, teenagers – from 14, and you can go to youth camps abroad from 17 years old.
All children undergo compulsory testing, which determines their language level.Depending on it, the specialists of the language school determine the group where this or that child will study. Children of any level of knowledge can learn a foreign language.
Educational programs for children’s camps abroad are distinguished by the fact that classes are held in an interesting game form for a certain age and are based on communicative methods. The main goal of the lessons is to develop speaking, listening, reading, writing, but, most importantly, to teach how to use this knowledge in everyday life.The basic language course averages 20 lessons per week. Many language schools offer an intensive course, and then the number of classes increases to 30. By the way, according to experts, in just 3 weeks of vacation abroad, students master more information than in six months or a year of studying a foreign language in a regular school curriculum or in courses in their own country.
Children’s and youth camps abroad offer their students several options for accommodation and meals: in boarding houses, camp residences, hostels and hotels, or with host families.In any case, during the stay, comfort and safety, as well as excellent language practice, are guaranteed to every young foreigner.
Except study
Time in children’s language camps abroad is used as efficiently as possible, educational and entertainment programs are saturated to the limit: children go to the mountains, play tennis and football, ride horses, yachts and canoes, participate in all kinds of competitions and competitions – they are simply not allowed miss.The same can be said about youth camps abroad – a colorful multicultural environment in which language learning is much easier and more fun. Of course, the intensity of classes is higher here, but there is no less entertainment: excursion programs introducing history, classic and extreme sports, discos, beach parties and barbecues, live concerts of popular performers; there is also free time for shopping or exploring the local cuisine.
Country selection
Is geography important when choosing a camp abroad? It all depends on your preferences, because learning, for example, English can be offered by many children’s camps abroad: in the UK, and in Malta, and in the USA.Swiss camps are unique in their own way: you can learn English, German and French (in some places Italian). Well, if you want to give your child a vacation abroad full of real adventures in the world of the wild, choose a children’s camp in Canada. The sports and entertainment program of German camps for children and youth is not so diverse, but the level of language skills acquired during summer studies will be truly fundamental.
In any case, studying language courses for children and adolescents abroad will be an invaluable time of discovery, a step into an independent life and, possibly, help in choosing a further path.Who knows, perhaps filled with impressions and armed with new knowledge, your child will wish to continue his education in the country where he spent such a bright vacation!
90,000 Adventure camps abroad for children and teenagers
StudyLab offers a huge selection of vacation programs abroad, so every child can find an English camp that suits their interests. Some centers are aimed at practicing language skills, others at sports and outdoor activities, and still others at developing creative abilities.Each school camp provides a full range of opportunities for all of this, but shifts the focus to one or another type of activity.
A trip to a language camp is absolutely safe, as children are supervised by adults around the clock. Comfortable and modernly equipped residences provide accommodation in 2-4 bed rooms with amenities, but if you wish, you can choose a camp with accommodation in a separate room.
An exciting journey to the English camp
The camp with the study of English remains the most popular among Russian schoolchildren.Such training centers are distinguished by the “full immersion” program, when children interact with teachers (native speakers) and peers from other countries all day long. During the holidays abroad, each child works out the fluency of colloquial speech, understands the nuances of grammar, learns a lot of new words. Pronunciation improves significantly and children feel confident with constant communication.
New knowledge about the culture and traditions of different countries broadens the horizons and teaches to respect people.The camps where you can spend summer holidays in Switzerland are distinguished by a particularly international composition of pupils and teachers. At Altitude International Camp, Arosa Camp or Village Day Camp, learning English is combined with a rich program of activities. At Ecole Nouvelle de la Suisse Romande, you can improve your knowledge of French, and at International Camp Montana – also German.
The incredible atmosphere of the Alps, luxurious nature and the cleanest air are obvious advantages of Switzerland, and nevertheless, for many, a camp in England or the USA is preferable.The Village Camps UK campus is stylized as an old manor house in the middle of Yorkshire (England), and Villanova University in Philadelphia (USA) will appeal to those who like the city’s landscape.
In the morning, children attend language classes, and in the afternoon they can go in for sports or creativity. In the evening, the children’s English camp allows you to have fun at a disco, quiz, talent show, barbecue or other interesting event. On weekends, excursions to nearby cities are organized in order to explore local attractions.
Holidays interesting for children

Schools in England, as in many other countries, accept children from 3 to 18 years old, providing an informative curriculum led by experienced teachers.

Children’s health summer camps by the sea are invited to the first shift at the end of May – early June, and foreign children’s holidays begin in different ways, depending on the theme and country. The duration of a shift is, as a rule, 18 – 21 days, therefore 4-5 shifts with different themes are organized.
Older children will be interested in sea programs, where they can feel independent and get many new experiences.But for the smallest travelers, it is better to start with children’s summer camps in the Moscow region, so that you can visit them and be calm about their first experience of growing up. In any case, summer children’s camps for teenagers are not only the first step towards independence, but also an exciting journey that will be remembered for a whole year, a lot of games, contests, events, new friends and hobbies.
It is convenient that when sending a child to summer camps at sea, you can purchase a voucher for 2 shifts at once, extending the time of a pleasant stay.At the summer children’s camp in the Moscow region, it will be necessary to take the child home for a shift change. Sometimes we receive applications with a request to organize a child’s rest for the whole summer. In this case, it is important to take into account the child’s readiness for a long trip and separation from family. It is desirable that this was not one sports and health camp, but several diverse programs in different places.

The daily routine is compiled necessarily taking into account the age characteristics of children. The day, from the time of getting up at 8.00 and until lights out at about 23.00 (as a rule), is full of games, swimming and other entertainments, and five meals a day provide your fidgets with the strength to have fun throughout the day.
