The Freedom Alliance Military Leadership Academy is an exciting, challenging, and rewarding summer camp for motivated high school students ages 14 – 18. The Academy utilizes the fundamental doctrines of military training to cultivate leadership potential and develop character in our participants.
During the two week sessions, our cadets learn leadership principles centered around our Academy Core Values of Selfless Service, Teamwork, Courage, Integrity, Dependability, Responsibility, and Respect. Our cadets gain confidence and practical life skills from being faced with, and overcoming,
mentally and physically challenging obstacles.
The mission of the Military Leadership Academy is to educate, motivate and inspire young Americans to become positive, productive leaders in their communities, to teach the importance of a physically fit, drug-free lifestyle and explain the necessity of teamwork and the value of service to a cause greater than one’s self. Simply, our vision is to transform young men and women into well grounded leaders.
Each training day, our cadets engage in discussion-style lessons that focus on thought-provoking topics including: Recent Medal of Honor Recipients, the Leadership Challenges of America’s Founding Fathers, Urban Combat and Unconventional Warfare, and more! Cadets also compete in a global crisis simulation that further develops critical thinking and decision-making skills.
The Military Leadership Academy is a summer program dedicated to encouraging American high school students to serve their country.
Testimonials
Parents of Cadet Kevin Monahan – Oceanside, New York
Class 30, Fort Pickett, Virginia
“I would highly recommend the program to any parent considering it for their child. On the first day we dropped off a child with a dream and desire. The Academy returned to us a young man, confident in his ability to attempt any challenge, willing to work with others to achieve a common goal, and a desire to continue to seek out leadership opportunities. Your program has solidified his desire to become a U.S Marine. It was everything he wanted and even more than I expected.”
“Kevin formed a bond with so many kids who are just like him and together they were able to bring each other through so many challenges.”

“My involvement with the Military Leadership Academy has given me the strength, courage, confidence and skills to inspire and lead in whatever I set my sights on. It was an opportunity that most people do not get to experience in their lifetime. Having attended twice, each program was motivational and challenging than the last.”
