Camp Challenge is six weeks of intense leadership training conducted annually at Fort Knox, Kentucky. This training satisfies the freshman and sophomore years of the ROTC program. Completion of Camp Challenge permits students to contract into the junior year of the program. Students may attend Camp Challenge without any obligation to the Army or ROTC. Student transportation, lodging and meal costs are paid by the U.S. Army. Students attending Camp Challenge are also paid approximately $750.

All ROTC cadets also take MSC000-Leadership laboratory (0cr), and MSC105W/MSC205W-Beginner weight training and conditioning (1cr) each semester.
