Physical fitness and fun go together as cadets climb the rock wall.

Bluegrass ChalleNGe Academy follows a rigid training schedule throughout the residential phase of the  program. Our training schedule is optimized to provide the maximum amount of training in the residential phase and incorporates all eight core components of the ChalleNGe model. 

Platoon Concept

The BCA uses the platoon concept as the core training model. Each platoon is supervised by the Platoon Sergeant who has overall responsibility to train and graduate the platoon. Each platoon has several cadre and teachers. The platoon does everything together, this builds team work and unit cohesion, it improves morale and gives the cadets something to be a part of.
