Cadet Life

Printer-friendly versionEmail to friend

While the daily schedule is both full and focused on academic achievement, there is time set aside specifically for athletics, arts, fellowship, and recreation. For example:

• Cadets can develop their musical abilities by playing in the award-winning FUMA Marching Band, the FUMA Babpipes, or by singing in the Chorus or Chorale.
• Intramural and club-sponsored sports may include competition in flag football, raquetball, tennis, table tennis, softball, volleyball, basketball, golf, swimming, weightlifting, and more.
• Those with an interest in drama and theatre can take to the stage or work behind the scenes in the Drama club.
• A wide variety of clubs are organized each year helping cadets pursue special interests. Such clubs have included debate, chess, fishing, woodworking, scuba, film and video, international cultures, and much more. Students can even take flying lessons.
• The Quadrille Club works closely with the faculty to plan, organize, and prepare each year's Military Ball.
• Several Christian fellowship organizations and Bible study groups meet regularly.
• The Community Service Organization is active in helping others in need.
• Off-campus trips occur periodically throughout the year, including field trips to historic locations, ski trips to Virginia's mountain slopes, as well as concerts and special events.
