Is the staff like the stereotypical drill sergeants who are always yelling?
A regular teen boot camp is typically military-styled with uniforms and marching in formations and ‘yes sir’, ‘no sir’ tactics. They usually have a structured environment that consists of barracks that are similar to those found in the U.S. Military’s ‘basic training program’. With their bunk beds, footlockers and strict inspections that are conducted by the staff, your troubled teen will have to be on his or her best behavior in order to survive this ordeal, even if it is only for a short while. Yes, life in a teen boot camp is very similar to life in the military. The candidates are all up by 5 or 6 am and they have chores to carry out, inspections, marches, kitchen duties, calisthenics, laundry duties, and so on. The teen boot camps include certain ‘in-your-face’ structured programs with drill sergeants, barracks, bunk beds etc.
