Future Marine Bootcamp
Future Marines wanted! Kids come test your skills at our Mini Bootcamp and find out what it takes to become a Marine.
Saturday, September 12 | 2-5 PM
Barnett Field
Children will receive enlistment checklists and T-shirts before being divided into Units. Units will be led by a Single Marine Volunteer through various activities touching on everyday aspects of Marine Corps Total Fitness. Children will learn history of the Marine Corps and the Marine Hymn with the MC Museum, hone their target skills with the Quantico Shooting Club, and test their strength through ammo carries and obstacle courses. Community organizations will demonstrate the importance of supporting and caring for the people around us. Other MCCS programs will host challenges and games highlighting their programs and Marine Corps life.
Participants will receive a Future Marine Bootcamp T-shirt at registration and a dog tag at the end of the event.
(While children will be led by SMP Volunteers, parents are required to remain with their children at all times).
