A "boot camp" is quite specifically an immersion experience, with the unfortunately cultic effects AdeleneDawner wishes to avoid. This would require detailed information beforehand, yes. It sounds way cool (and I'd love to be able to go myself), but FINE-GRAINED CONSENT ISSUES ARE REALLY QUITE IMPORTANT to many people.
I'm not even worried about cult issues - I'm fairly confident that I'd notice and extricate myself from such a situation if there was one. (I've done so before, more than once.) It's more of an issue of consistently being a certain kind of person: Rather like Alicorn and Eliezer don't lie, I don't base my actions on other peoples' assumption or pressures regarding what I should or will do. (It may be noteworthy that this isn't the same as not taking peoples' likely reactions to my actions into account.)
