Some feedback sticks.

Still time to sign up for Boot Camp on 4/11:
www.bootcampfornewdadslax.org

One dad came in skeptical, then texted his wife halfway through Boot Camp for New Dads to tell her he was actually really enjoying it. By the end, he was recommending it to other new dads.

Another said he really enjoyed it too and described the class as being led in a cool, calm, and collected way.

That kind of feedback means a lot.

The hope with Boot Camp is simple: that dads leave feeling a little more ready, a little more confident, and a little less alone as they step into fatherhood. So when that is what they take away, it is deeply encouraging.

Imagine this.

It’s Valentine’s Day.
Instead of dinner reservations…

You tell her:
“I signed up to learn how to be the best dad I can be.”

That hits different.

Boot Camp for New Dads is happening THIS Saturday (2/14) in La Crosse.

It’s a 3-hour workshop where expecting dads learn:
• How to support mom when emotions are high
• How to avoid getting pushed out (gatekeeping is real)
• What teamwork looks like after baby arrives
• How to calm a crying baby
• What NOT to do when you’re overwhelmed

This is confidence before the baby comes.
This is preparation.
This is leadership.

If you’re expecting - or know someone who is - this is the best Valentine’s gift he can give.

At Boot Camp for New Dads, we don't just talk about fatherhood—we show you what it's really like. You’ll get real-world answers and hands-on practice from guys who were in your shoes just a few months ago. The best part? They bring their babies with them, so you can practice things like holding and changing a newborn in a safe, supportive space.

This Saturday, trade your worries for confidence and get the skills you need to be a great partner and an amazing dad from day one.

When: This Saturday, 8am–11am

Where: La Crosse | Healthy Living Center - Dahl YMCA

Cost: $40 (scholarships available, no questions asked) - includes a 1 month family membership to the YMCA.

CALLING ONE AWESOME DAD!

Are you the proud dad of a 2–6 month old?

We need a Veteran Dad + Baby for our next BCND workshop on Saturday, September 13 here in La Crosse (8am-11am).

Your experience could be exactly what a group of expectant dads needs to hear—and your baby might just steal the show (they always do).

✅ You’ll help rookies get real answers.
✅ You’ll build community with other dads.
✅ You’ll walk out with that "dang, I made a difference today" feeling.

Tag a dad. Message us. Step up.

We’ve got a seat waiting for you.

"I was pretty skeptical when my wife told me she was going to sign me up for this workshop. I had been doing my own research, finding good resources to answer the questions I had, but the videos that I was finding on YouTube directed toward new dads seemed to be common sense stuff which lead me to think this would about the same. I was definitely pleasantly surprised! I found the workshop incredibly helpful and informative..."

One of our newest Boot Camp for New Dads grads left with more than just tips — he left with confidence, laughs, and a whole new perspective on fatherhood.

“...It was welcoming, engaging, and funny, an enjoyable experience. I’m very glad I attended!”

If you’re an expectant dad in the La Crosse area, our next workshop might just surprise you too.
