The Boot Camp is a 3 day, 3 night event. It begins Thu evening, with registration from 4 to 5:30, dinner at 6 pm and concludes Sun around 1-2 pm. It is only for men, age 18 and older.

Note: Blue Springs (in Marianna) is CENTRAL TIME

Plan to arrive on Thursday by 5:30 pm. The retreat is progressively structured with very important sessions presented on Thursday night. They are in a sequence and each session builds on the previous. For this reason, we will not accept planned late arrivals.

Note that the Blue Springs campus is alcohol free and all facilities and rooms are non smoking.

BOOT CAMP SUMMARY

The Boot Camp experience, according to many alumnae, is unlike any other church retreat they had experienced. There will be teaching sessions that will guide you through what might be a new look at The Gospel and potentially a fresh and new relationship with Christ and others. It is all about the restoration Jesus describes in Luke 4. The teachings use movie clips as illustrations; you will find the clips to be profound and very illustrative. There will be laughter, there will be tears, there will be quiet time alone with God. Again, the experience of attendees is that The Holy Spirit will attend that quiet time in a huge way. There are no bible studies in a circle, that doesn't happen on this retreat. And there will be lots of free time on Fri and Sat afternoons for an assortment of activities, but those activities are totally optional.. you can play, play hard, or chill. This retreat is being led by the Return to Glory Ministries, Inc. men's team and is designed exclusively for men. Due to the nature and depth of the content and experience, this boot camp is not designed for youth. You must be at least 18 to attend.

Your registration fee covers your lodging, meals and all of the teaching and materials for the weekend. Meals include Thu dinner through Sunday lunch. There are additional charges for "free time" activities such as golf, paintball, or a canoe trip. Again, all of those free time activities (and costs) are optional. Expect costs to range from $20 to $40 per afternoon, depending on the activity. Golf costs less, Paintball costs more.

This boot camp should not be viewed as a 'father/son' event, due to the nature of the experience. If you are very drawn to attend with your father or son, please contact us for what that might involve: it would be good to discuss that with a staff member. Please call or email:
