Boot Camp is an event where officers can come to have their skills sharpened as leaders of their chapters. Generally, Boot Camp takes place during the month of January, so officers have had four months to gain some experience in leadership. This event serves as an opportunity for DOLLS Headquarters to answer questions, fine-tune the officers’ leadership skills, and challenge our 5 main to the next level of ministry. Likewise, there are inevitably officers who drop out half-way through the semester, so it becomes necessary for the remaining team to find a replacement. This new officer often finds it difficult to “catch-up” with the other five, having not had the advantage of attending the training at the 5 Main Conference over the summer. 5 Main Boot Camp serves as a crash course for these officers so that they will leave feeling up to speed with their teammates. *Boot Camp is REQUIRED for all new officers who joined mid-year
