The grant will be used to develop tools for outreach and marketing to “dads-to-be”
“We’d like to thank the Pacific Life Foundation for their generous donation and their commitment to helping men ‘hit the ground crawling’ in their new role as fathers,” said Greg Bishop, founder and Head Coach of Boot Camp for New Dads. Research has shown that if men get involved early, they are more likely to stay engaged with their kids and continue to be a positive force in their children’s lives.

Boot Camp for New Dads
Celebrating their 16th year, Boot Camp for New Dads is nationally acclaimed as the “Best Practice” for preparing men to be fathers and has been named a U.S. Navy Model Program.
With more than 4.1 million births last year alone (National Center for Health Statistics), and approximately 1.5 million men becoming new dads every year, it’s more important than ever for fathers to realize that being a “good provider” is only part of the very central role they have in their children’s lives.
International Acclaim
International interest in Boot Camp for New Dads has grown quickly due to the program’s phenomenal success in the U.S and rising concern about fatherhood in many other countries. Boot Camp for New Dads programs have been recently established in England, Japan and Italy.
With a mission “to help assure every child a father they can count on, no matter what”,
Boot Camp for New Dads is proud to have prepared more than 160,000 men for fatherhood over the years.
