General furloughs are granted at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and in the fall, winter, and spring. Additional weekend furloughs are granted periodically throughout the year. Cadets may also earn added opportunities for furloughs through quality schoolwork and by accumulating merits. The Academy publishes a list of furloughs through its calendar which will also list those weekends which are "closed." Cadets will not be permitted to take a furlough on a closed weekend. Cadets cannot be granted additional furloughs except in emergency situations. Parents are asked not to make such requests unless a true emergency exists.
In addition to furloughs, high school cadets are granted "leave" to go downtown at regular intervals. This leave is available to those cadets who qualify. Seventh and eighth graders may go to town only with parents, faculty, or other authorized individuals. Cadets are not permitted to leave the Camden area during these periods without permission of the commandant or assistant commandant.
