"Just wanted to point out that it appears you are confusing TWO DIFFERENT TELEVISION SHOWS.
The original "Brat Camp" was an English show featuring SIX familes who sent their kids to a 'bootcamp' in the States...it won some awards in Europe, and had a repeat airing several months ago on the ABC Family Channel (hence the confusion).
The UPCOMING "BRAT CAMP" is produced by Shapiro/Grodner Productions and sends NINE kids to a camp in Oregon called Sagewalk, which, for the record, is NOT a bootcamp...but is indeed an award winning wilderness therapy program, where certified clinical therapists try to help troubled teens deal with the difficult issues of their lives. No one is yelling at these kids or telling them to "drop and give me 20!" No double-speak intended, it just may be that your definition of a "bootcamp" is different than mine.
This new "BRAT CAMP" is a well-made, uplifting and emotional series...and you might want to watch an episode or two before making premature judgements based on incomplete 'research.'
I'm not trying to brainwash you or anything...it's just that you might actually like it! I hope you do anyway. It was a labor of love for all involved. And I'm very proud of this show.
Sincerely,
John Platt
Co-Executive Producer, "Brat Camp" (the new American one...!)"

There is nothing "uplifting" about promoting these programs on TV! There is nothing "uplifting" about knowing that people will be duped into thinking that sending their children to these programs is a good idea-- BECAUSE OF YOUR SHOW!
How can you people live with yourselves? Do you realize how many children died and how many children are being abused at this very moment at various wilderness and residential programs? Promoting such programs in the media is like promoting poison-drinking for sport.

You are just plain wrong. Please do some research on Aaron Bacon, North Star and the numerous other wilderness deaths before you make statements like the above. SageWalk was happy to employ one of Aaron's killers. :???:

Don't waste your breath. You're talking to a damned tv producer. How do they live w/ themselves after producing and airing Nestle commercials? Easy! They simply don't bother to educate themselves about the people who pay their freight. Ignorance is bliss!
The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

Look what RedCliff Ascent put on their website about the show's message board. What a bunch of manipulative creeps. People can't even think their approach isn't good without them attacking them as "vulgar youths." How about "abusive adults"??
.....................
We are saddened by some of what we see posted on the ABC Family Channel website message board. We appreciate those who have voiced their support for the cause of helping teens. We are most concerned by the youth who have taken over much of the message board and use it with vulgar comments, disinformation and lack of respect for others.
