Camp Liberty is working hard to build a two story 60' x 28' Fitness Center. The Fitness Center will include a gym, classroom and indoor rock-climbing / rappel training area.

The "Camp Liberty Fitness Center" will be built next to our swimming pool, allowing for a centralized space for our gym equipment. The facility will be air conditioned and heated.

This is an exciting addition to Camp Liberty for our Cadets, Cadre and year-around military/law enforcement/ EMS and civilian visitors.

Here is a design rendition of the building.

We have installed a 60' x 30' concrete slab, with help from previous donations. From there, the building will be erected (hopefully in April of 2026 when we have Cadets on-site for Service Support).

We then need to finish the building with electricity / water and climate control. This is an expensive endeavor, especially the cost of concrete for the slab. Without assistance, we will have to wait until at least 2027 or 2028 to start this project.

Our goal is to get the basic building contracted before the end of 2025. To do so, we must raise $5,000 for the deposit and another $30,000 before summer. That would cover the Basic building, windows and doors.

This is a significant project, in addition to our current focus on the new 12,000 sf Citizen Hall. Therefore, we are asking the Camp Liberty family and friends to assist as you can. Every little bit helps, so please pass this along to family and friends. If someone would like to underwrite the entire basic project at $50,000, naming rights are available.

The new Camp Liberty Fitness Facility is a critical addition that will also allow us to continue to provide exceptionally high-quality fitness training.

We have started the transition to the Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System, which is the Army's primary investment in Soldier readiness and lethality, optimal physical and non-physical performance, reduced injury rates, improved rehabilitation after injury, and increased overall effectiveness of the Total Army.

We have a "modge-podge" of equipment to be added to the building. The next phase will be acquiring sufficient equipment to ensure we are able to provide a high-quality location. In time, this facility will be a key site for Cadets and recruits throughout the summer Training Mission. With young people from around the world attending programs at Camp Liberty, it is critical that we have the right facility to best serve their fitness needs.

Any support you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance on this important project. I am always honored by how much support we receive from the XMC family, even long after Cadets have gone on to their lives.
