10 Most Insane Training Camps in the World

The following camps are all pretty brutal in their own way. From hard labor to bizarre diets to punishing exercise regimes, these camps will have you longing for that lame summer camp your parents shipped you off to every year. There’s the gruelling Toughest Training Camp organization who live up to their name when it comes to exercise. We’ll also take a look at the boot camp for the Gurkhas. Legendary soldiers of Nepalese descent, this is definitely not the kind of camp where you learn to play guitar and weave necklaces. There are also the Gulags, which are technically camps – just for people who are seen as enemies of the state. People looking to lose weight often head to “fat” camps. Although as you’ll see, one particular Austrian fat camp has become a bit notorious. Have an internet addiction? That’s not a problem. China specializes in treating people in specialized camps. Whether you get out alive is a whole different matter. If you’re interested in the Navy SEALs but don’t want to actually serve in the military you can always try out Kokoro Camp. If martial arts are your thing then try checking out the Thailand Karate Camps or go all out by visiting a Shaolin camp. Of course, no brutal camp discussion would be complete without talking about Marine Boot Camp. Then of course, there are those terrifying camps for troubled teens which start with a planned abduction. These are all brutal camps, so we’ll let you judge which you think is the worst.
