What problems do boot camps fix?
Some boot camps focus on experiential therapy that can positively affect teenagers with certain issues like Autism, Obesity, ADHD, Asperser’s, Behavioral problems and learning disorders. Troubled youth and teenagers with special needs don’t generally fit into the ordinary summer camps. Shoplifters, joy riders, car stealers and tearaways are all sent to boot camps. Parents with teens who are headed down the ‘wrong way’ will always see dramatic changes in their child’s behavior, attitude, and motivation after a visit to one of these boot camps. Teens dealing with substance and drug abuse, aggressive teenagers, antisocial children may need long term intervention like a specialty boarding school. The theology behind these boot camps is that if you yell and yell at these troubled teens and discipline, they will generally straighten out. Angry, aggressive, defiant and oppositional teens might improve under the strict, intense, military-style environment of a boot camp.
