Do boot camps work?
Just like most things that depends on your question or end goal. Boot camps are generally designed to be short in nature lasting from 2-8 weeks. These high intensive in your face boot camps can provide a teen with some help and usually are only effective in the early stages of intervention or prevention. Boot camps have high recidivism rates when used as means of treatment for teens that have serious issues.
Free Boot Camps
If there is such a thing of free boot camps it would consist of the juvenile justice system juvenile boot camp program.
