Chaplain

CMA’s cadets have a number of opportunities to grow and deepen their faith throughout the week!

At Camden Military Academy, spiritual life is supported through a variety of meaningful activities and outreach efforts. Sunday morning chapel services and Monday night Bible studies offer students regular opportunities for worship and reflection. Additionally, students who volunteer can attend mid-week church services in the local community, providing fellowship with other Christian youth. The chaplain also offers emotional and spiritual support to both students and staff, celebrating life events such as marriages, births, and birthdays, while also being present during times of grief. Student trips and special activities, such as youth services, Christian dinner theatre shows, and retreats, are coordinated to help build moral and spiritual character. Furthermore, students can receive personal guidance on topics like grief, conflict resolution, social skills, and questions of faith, ensuring they have a trusted mentor during challenging times.
