Massanutten Cadets Travel to Canada for Fall Excercise

By Massanutten Military Academy | October 11, 2022 |

Sergeant Kurtz and 1LT Renfrow traveled with six cadets from the MMA Raiders team to Canada last week to participate in the annual fall exercise at Robert Land Academy located in Wellandport, Ontario. Those participating in this year’s exercise include cadets from Robert Land Academy, Oak Ridge Military Academy of North Carolina, members of the New Mexico National Guard and cadets from Royal Military College of Canada.

On the first day of the march, cadets marched for 33 km along the Bruce Trail from Beamsville to Short Hills Provincial Park in Pelham.

The second day began on the Bruce Trail, leaving from Short Hills, marching through part of Thorold and then to Welland Canals Parkway Trail, finishing up at Merritt Island in Welland after 22 km.

On the final day, cadets marched from Fort George in Niagara-on-the-Lake, along Niagara Parkway to Queenston Heights, where the final ceremony took place and cadets received a Baker Badge.

Massanutten cadets also enjoyed a trip to Niagara Falls. Cadets viewed the sights and visited the battle site of Lundy’s Lane, also known as the Battle of Niagara Falls, which took place on July 25, 1814.
