“My parents taught me many great things as a youngster, but I learned more about applying those traits as I grew into adulthood at CMA. A big one for me was not being too absorbed with myself and my wants.The adult faculty and leadership at CMA showed us that we had to take responsibility for our actions, and deal with the consequences of our decisions.”
CAM WALTERS, CMA BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND CMA CLASS OF ’73
“I can say with full certainty that attending Camden Military Academy permanently changed my life for the better. CMA’s “whole man” initiative isn’t just a talking point; I am a more well rounded person now than before my time there. I would not be who I am today without it. The military structure and dual enrollment courses prepared me for success in university, where I have thrived while others were unprepared. I have been able to effectively schedule my days, study, succeed in all of my courses and stand out from the crowd. I am now a confident, capable, and disciplined man thanks to Camden Military Academy. Mark McGregor Class of 2022”
