Peter Fenzel and Matthew Wrather are lead by an article in USA Today to overthink the phenomenon of “Boot Camps” for men seeking to “reclaim their masculinity.” They wonder what that might mean and why someone might want to do it, and try to situate such experiences in the continuum of retreats, adventures, and corporate off-sites.
