There is no official definition of a boot camp as a programme for young people.
The term ‘boot camps’ is used to describe military-style training programmes for young people. The training may be delivered by the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) or a non-government organisation, in partnership with Oranga Tamariki (or its predecessors – such as the Department of Social Welfare and Child, Youth and Family) or the Ministry of Social Development (MSD).
A young person could be referred to a boot camp by the Youth Court, Oranga Tamariki (or one of its predecessors), MSD or by their parents.
