Located in Charlotte, NC, this indoor facility features full-scale obstacle courses where children engage in constantly varied activities including engineering challenges, survival skills, archery, rappelling, and hands-on science projects. What sets Mission Grit apart is their exclusive MGM (Mission Grit Money) points system, where campers earn, spend, invest, and donate virtual currency while learning valuable financial management skills alongside physical and leadership development.
The camp operates year-round with programs designed for different seasons and school breaks, maintaining a non-competitive, high-structure environment that emphasizes personal growth over competition. With small camp sizes ensuring personalized attention, children are divided into three age-appropriate groups and participate in scenario-based quests, team building challenges, and adventure activities. The military veteran leadership team focuses on developing confidence, character, and leadership skills through daily and weekly themed programming that keeps every day fresh and engaging.
