I'm not one for isolating myself from my family and dear friends, so when they invited me I always gave an unclear answer (though I guess I should have been more direct).
I suppose that things like this can be good, but it sounded really disturbing.
It did not sound at all like other Bible camps to which I've been invited which one can hear is more open and connected.
Just an extra thought.

Wear a suit - oh no, read the Bible? terrible! seminars by a man - even worse. technology restricted? how to survive?
They what else?, stole your money, raped you, left you for dead?
isolated from family for 2 weeks? - are you serious.. ever been on Summer camp? ever traveled overseas for work? ever been a Boy Scout?
Seriously dude, stop being delusional. Many are well meaning people with a heart for Jesus, you'd be safer there than in your local shopping mall. Or rather, safer than a choir boy in a Catholic church.
Some people here are frauds and making it out to be some death cult.
