Devil Pups is a 10 day encampment each July. The camp emphasizes the development of leadership skills and physical fitness of youth between the ages of 14 and 17.
To challenge, educate and help young boys and girls of all backgrounds to learn self-confidence and responsibility for their actions.
The name “Devil Pups” is derived from the Marine Corps history going back to WWI and the 1918 battle of Belleau Wood in France. The Marine Corps fought heroically for a month against the German offensive by relentlessly charging the front lines. The Germans started referring to the Marines as “TeufelsHunde” or Devil Hounds because they just never quit. The media modified the term to what it is today; Devil Dogs. It is in this spirit that Devil Pups was named and Devil Pups Never Quit.
