Best Alabama Boys Camps Summer 2024-25 Directory

CAMP FACILITIES: Summers At Southern camps are held and hosted by Southern Preparatory Academy in Camp Hill, Alabama. The campgrounds are situated on 320-acres of land equipped with two fishing ponds, an indoor swimming pool, dining hall, air-conditioned dorms, an indoor rifle range, an outdoor rifle range, football field, and 2 gymnasiums.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: With a 12:1 camper to counselor ratio, our goal is make sure your son has the individualized attention he needs in order to make the most of his camp experience. Our qualified counselors have one goal in mind: to challenge your son, and make sure he has the best summer ever.

Each camp allows for activities to be customized to campers’ age and experience level, ensuring everyone gets the most out of their camp experience. In addition, campers will be placed in groups based on their age: rising 6th-7th graders, rising 8th-9th graders, and rising 10th-12th graders.

We believe that summer camp is very important to improve the overall personality of boys and to make them competitive by developing skill sets.

We offer bundles if you are interested in more than one week of camp for your son.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: Alabama's Military School for Boys
Grades 6-12

For more than 120 years, Southern Preparatory Academy has existed to educate and train future generations of leaders. As a military boarding school in Camp Hill, Alabama, Southern Prep is dedicated to creating a positive environment where our students live and learn without the distractions found in public schools. Our Corps of Cadets class size is small on purpose – about 112 young men – this forges a close-knit environment between our students, who are navigating the same new challenges.

Southern Prep is renowned for our exemplary academics, commendable military traditions, competitive athletics, and innovative signature programs. We are not JUST a military high school; we are a boarding school, private school, college prep school, and an all boys school rolled into one. Since 1898, we’ve provided our students with the discipline and structure needed for focus, self-reliance, and success.
