Extreme Military Challenge! Military Summer Camp (XMC) is the premier program of its type; offering young men and women age 13-18 very realistic and safe immersive summer programs from 2 to 7 weeks each summer. While most of our participants have a serious interest in a possible military career we have many attend for a unique experience that will help challenge and 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 somewhat similar programs, we make no exceptions to this rule. Learn more about XMC in our Admissions Guide.​

Operated by Liberty Communications, LLC, XMC is conducted at Camp Liberty in Battleground, Alabama and attracts participants from across the United States and around the world.  More than half of our Challengers fly to Alabama each summer, where they are met by XMC staff at the airport.  Since our founding, XMC has welcomed young leaders from all 50 states, every U.S. territory and 50+ countries worldwide.

The senior staff of Extreme Military Challenge! brings 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+ young people 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.
