LEARN TO LEAD

Academy by the Sea isn’t just another summer camp. Participants will learn the foundations of leadership in a hands-on program based on a unique curriculum combining Junior ROTC fundamentals with influences from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.  Over two weeks, campers will have fun as they learn how to become self-disciplined and resilient leaders building responsibility, independence, and confidence. They will develop positive relationships in an environment that promotes community and learn to avoid and resolve conflicts while demonstrating respect for others, raising self-esteem, and striving for the realization of their potential.
