Basic Camp is designed to introduce Cadets to Army life and leadership training during a four-week course at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Typically, Cadets will attend Basic Camp the summer after their Sophomore year. (In the case of our Nursing majors, they will attend the summer after their Freshman year.) Confidence and decision-making skills are instilled throughout as the Army observes these students and determines their Officer potential in a leadership-oriented, challenging, and motivating course.
