From June 10-14, MHS JROTC students joined 212 cadets from 19 different schools across Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin for the JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge (JCLC) in Marseilles, IL . 🏕️
Cadets formed teams with students from other schools and tackled activities like rappelling, archery, raft building, nightly sports, zip lining, land navigation, and an obstacle course. 🎯🏹🛶
Throughout the camp, cadets took on peer leadership roles and were evaluated on their motivation, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Both individual cadets and platoons were recognized for their outstanding performance. 👏🏅
