The Next Generation Leader Boot Camp for elementary school students is intended to be a FUN after-school activity for students to learn about leadership, responsibility, teamwork, camaraderie, and serve as a basic introduction to the military. In accordance with the schedule, EEYP will build the stamina, confidence, and leadership skills of participating students, referred to as "cadets." They will learn the fundamentals of team building, personal accountability and responsibility, while striving for excellence. The “Daily 7” exercises or calistenics are intended to strengthen the stamina and physical fitness of cadets. Each cadet works to his or her best level of performance, but will be encouraged to continue exercising to improve themselves. As cadets are introduced to leadership traits, they will be able to apply the same principles to making important decisions thereafter in elementary, middle, and high school, which will shape their future. There will be no hazing or harsh treatment that can be associated with actual military basic training. There will be at least two DIs present at any time, to isolate and mitigate any disruptions. Cadets should wear comfortable clothing appropriate for physical fitness training and go-fasters (sneakers).

As part of their enrollment, cadets will receive a t-shirt with the school name and logo, a baseball cap with logo, identifcation tags, a compass, a belt and canteen, and upon completion a Certifcate of Achievment. It will be their responsibility to bring their t-shirts and caps for each day thereafter.

The Next Generation Leader Boot Camps are coordinated through individual elementary schools and during the summer through various venues, such as the Bear Chase Brewery Company.

EEYP offers a 5-day after-school boot camp and a 2-day weekend boot camp. Check out the corresponding schedules for each.
