This MMA camper from Iowa was featured in his hometown paper after attending MMA camps for five consecutive years.
Thirteen-year-old Kameron Adams knows that grit runs deep, and he has consistently proven that throughout his five years attending Missouri Military Academy summer camps.
“I am super proud of him,” Danni Adams said of her son, who has attended the camp since age 9. “I know he’s gone and knows what to expect, and each year we see him grow from this ... and we see the growth when he gets back here [home] as well.”
