Bootcamp ran during the first week of the academic year. This year was quite different though. It concentrated on us as individual designers, asking us to bring out our personalities as designers. Last year we were taken through the design process by learning about the 5 different rooms of design. I found the process of design more useful than focussing on myself as a designer. I would like to see boot camp as a recap session almost reminding the students why they are here at GDC and what our purpose actually is. It would be interesting to go through the basics and the small intricate details which designers almost always forget about.
I agree with you that we needed to be reminded of why we are here but i think creating an identity for ourselves helped us find who we are as designers and what our design style is
