I'm looking for information regarding a (approx.) week-long
military-style boot camp vacation.

Hi Nelson,

These types of vacations are becoming more and more popular with a lot
of folks.  Fox News even did a story about them back in July.  You can
read it here if you like: 
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,58775,00.html   While classes
offering boot camp style fitness training are plentiful, it is more of
a challenge to find short term (i.e. approx. one-week as you asked)
residential programs.  However, there are some available.

The Fox story referenced several businesses offering these types of
vacations.  One was Amsala Resort in Mexico, which offers a weeklong
"bikini boot camp," combining strenuous workouts with a bit of fun
such as snorkeling or jungle exploration, in a beautiful tropical
beach setting.  Their website is here:
http://www.amansala.com/version-2/bikini.html

However, you said you'd like more of a military-style approach, so
here are some other selections that might be more to your taste.

This is a program modeled after the BUD/S SEAL training.  They have a
3-day "Special Forces" and 2-week "Boot Camp" among their offerings:

Grounded Foundations offers a wide variety of boot camp style
programs.  Their website is, unfortunately, still under construction,
but you can find an overview listing of what they offer here:
http://www.thedocks.com/htmldocs/outdoor/bootCamp2.htm  And they
invite you to contact them for further information at
AdventureBasedLearning@GroundedFoundations.ca

There's an article and information on a 3 1/2 day boot camp for
business executives here:

And if you'd like to compbine travel with boot camp, there's a
"Business Boot Camp" in England, offering tailor-made programs and
choices from one day to a weeklong intensive residential course. 
Check it out at http://www.adrenalinnylimited.co.uk/bbc.htm

I hope this information and these links help you find what you’re
looking for.  Best of luck, and please ask if anything needs
clarifying.

Byrd

Thank you.  This is very helpful.

Hi,

I have been unable to find any programs that only last one week (most
seem to last from 3-6 weeks).

I have spent some time on this so I will let you know what I did find
anyway:
Canyon Ranch a health spa In Tucson, Arizona offers the chance to
enlist in their Boot Camp (http://www.canyonranch.com)
'Boot Camp at Canyon Ranch in Tucson is a little less intimidating,
but equally as challenging as The Real Thing. Meant more for fun and
fitness than bullying and belittling, Boot Camp is the only level-III
class offered - and it's not for sissies....
 The cardio activities include jumping rope, stepping, hill-climbing
and running in place while hoisting an eight-pound “rifle” (in the
form of a heavy bar). Pushups (what else?), walking lunges and
plyomteric exercises (ones where you move your entire body at once,
like long jumps) complete the formation. And when you’ve finished the
15-minute cycle, what do you do? You get a three-minute rest and do it
all over again!'
Read the full article at
http://www.canyonranch.com/uploads/RUSummer02.pdf (You will need to
have Adobe Acrobat Reader as this is a PDF file).

Other military style boot camps which I found are:
The Bulldog Boot Camp (http://www.bulldogbootcamp.com/) runs 4 week
Boot Camp programs, as does the Beverly Hills Boot Camp
(http://www.beverlyhillsbootcamp.com) and The Castaldi Boot Camp
(http://www.castaldibootcamp.com).

The article 'Latest Fitness Trend: Boot Camp' by Stephanie Oakes
(http://www.beststuff.com/article.php3?story_id=4142) also discusses
various boot camps in the USA too.

If I do come across any week long vacations, I will post them.

Ali

Thank you, england_ali-ga.  Let me know if you are a researcher.  I
