## About Campaign Bootcamp

Bootcamp starts with a week-long residential training, which is followed by a year
of mentoring, further training and community support.

It is meant to be “a fun, immersive, interactive experience where you get to try
everything you’re learning”.

It costs £3500 to attend the non-profit-making Bootcamp, which covers all the costs.
Its organisers say that all the money received goes back into “making Bootcamp possible
and as good as it can”.
