Boot Camp for New Dads

Practical and preparatory training for male-identifying adults expecting or new to parenthood.

About Boot Camp

Becoming a father is one of the most transformative experiences a man can have. Boot Camp for New Dads® is a unique father-to-father, community-based workshop that inspires and equips men of different economic levels, ages, and cultures to become confidently engaged with their infants, support their mates, and personally navigate their transformation into dads.

Led by "veteran" dads who bring their own babies, "rookie" expectant dads get hands-on experience and honest advice about forming a parenting team, managing stress, preventing child abuse, and bonding with their baby.
