Extreme Military Challenge! (XMC) is conducted at 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. Over the last 12+ years XMC has had participants from all 50 states and over 41 different countries with many international participants every year. They all head to Camp Liberty because XMC is the premier program of its type in not only the United States but the entire world. 

​​

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. 

 

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 2000+ 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 which also has over a decade of photos and videos from each year's programs you can view.

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.
