Advanced Camp is the single most important block of training in the career of an Army ROTC student. It is often the first exposure to the active army and is one of the arenas where students from college campuses across the country converge to experience high intensity, high quality training. In recent years, Niagara University students have absolutely excelled in all facets of this training experience. The mission of Advanced Camp is to Train students to Army standards, Develop leadership and Evaluate officer potential.
Advanced camp is intentionally tough and extremely challenging.
The days are long with considerable night training and no days off. Throughout the five week camp, students encounter physical and mental obstacles which challenge them as individuals, soldiers and leaders. Students gain self-confidence through the successful completion in difficult training events. Platoon competition develops teamwork and cohesion through individual effort and performance. The overall experience develops students into better citizens and the leaders of our society in the 21st Century.
