I see too many young adults who have no clue how to act at a dinner table or how to speak to dignitaries, authorities or others who's position should garner a certain poise and respect. It's disheartening -- I've had to learn some of this, myself, the hard way and the hard way can be VERY embarassing... I'm with you as well; there's nothing wrong with teaching people how to behave.

What would concern me is a potential "gender stereotyping" aspect of it all or judging people for image rather than substance. I would hate to have a young lady be considered lacking because she wasn't able to list attendance at such a "camp." In the popular day of formal finishing schools not attending one was viewed as socially unacceptable in some society circles.
