Summer opportunities

Basic Camp (formally known as the Cadet Initial Entry Training or the Leaders Training Course) will be conducted during the summer following MSI or MSII year for contracted cadets and those pursuing a contract. Basic Camp allows students to enter the Army ROTC Advanced Course without any prior Army or ROTC knowledge or skills. Conducted at Fort Knox, Kentucky, Basic Camp trains, develops, evaluates, and molds incoming students into cadets, bringing them up to competitive speed with cadets who have received MSI and MSII year training.

Advanced Camp (formally known as the Cadet Leadership Course or Leader Development Assessment Course) is conducted during the summer following the MSIII year at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Advanced Camp develops and evaluates every MSIII cadet in the nation. Focusing on leadership and skills learned at their host institution, cadets learn new skills, have their leadership tested and assessed, and, ultimately is used to determine Officer Branch selections following graduation.
