Recruits participate in daily physical training (PT) sessions conducted each morning. They are led by our knowledgeable and experienced staff through the key components of proper physical fitness to include warm up, stretching and cool down. Our recruits are initially evaluated and placed in groups contingent upon their individual skills and ability; and are encouraged to improve their levels of fitness and agility. PT tests are conducted periodically to document their progress and encourage their efforts. This gives them an adjustable and attainable goal to reach during their stay at camp, and a fitness level to maintain after their return home.

To keep physical training and enjoyable activity, the sessions and activities will vary from day to day. PT sessions can include different types of organized athletics, calisthenics, aerobics, strength training or individual training.  For the first few days, the recruits will be sore and tired. As time goes on, the soreness starts to disappear, their energy levels increase and so does their effort level, because they know that it’s benefitting their body. Some recruits will lose weight, some will gain muscle and definition and best of all, nearly all recruits will notice some healthy improvements on the inside! Their self esteem increases, and they learn that they can do anything they want, as long as they put their mind to it. Our recruits are often pleasantly surprised at the great strides they make while at camp, and are proud of their physical accomplishments. Recruits quickly overcome their physical fears, and break through their emotional barriers when they realize that they can conquer the challenges presented to them and reap the benefits of physical training.
