Attending Camp Basilone is an exciting choice. The MCHA organizes youth programs, and minors 16 and over are welcome at Camp Basilone. The MCHA takes pride in our application process. After you contact the MCHA you will be asked to submit an application with your social security number for a background check. If you claim prior-service, a copy of your DD214 will be requested as well. This is to ensure that all who come to the Camp are honorable men and have not been convicted of a felony, especialy a domestic or child related crime. All those at Camp must also be drug free and understand our mission. |
