College AFROTC Cadet StaffCollege

AFROTC cadets volunteer their time to run the camp.

CostsThe fee normally ranges from $100-$125. For

those that can’t afford the full fee, we may be able to subsidize some costs if the cadet works concessions to earn money.

The fee includes transportation, room, all meals for the week, a hat, several T-shirts, and admission to the Mahoney State Park pool.

Cadets are supervised by college ROTC cadets and teachers from each school bringing cadets. Instructors sleep over at the camp, and chaperones sleep in the barracks with cadets. Females are in a separate building with female officer supervision.
