The 10 Step Process

GTD's Adventure Program is primarily made up of multiday camping trips filled with exhilarating activities that are both fun and challenging. Typical Adventure Trips last 3-7 days and are centered around The Five F's of GTD: Focused (on God), Freedom (in Christ), Fun (adventures), Fellowship (with peers), and Faith (a part of each activity). Besides just being a blast, these trips bond groups together and teach us how to live life fully while living out our faith passionately!


PEAK SEASON: May - Aug \| SLOW SEASON: Oct - Apr Adventure Trips during our slow seasons can be available upon request and may require an additional fee.

During our Peak Season (May-Aug) we offer Adventure Trips to the National Forests of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North & South Carolina. In the winter we offer some Adventure Trips in Florida.

WITH ADVANCED NOTICE, ADVENTURE TRIPS CAN BE SCHEDULED TO SOME OF THESE LOCATIONS DURING OUR SLOW SEASONS (THIS USUALLY REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL FEE).

Throughout the year GTD provides several PUBLIC Adventure Trips that are open to the general public. PUBLIC Adventure Trips are great ways for individuals or small groups (less than 12) to experience a God-awesome adventure at an affordable rate. PUBLIC Adventure Trips allow for individuals to participate without needing a sponsoring organization to reserve a trip. Below are 5 public events provided through our Adventure Program. You can find an exciting PUBLIC event that fits your level of adventure by clicking onto our UPCOMING EVENTS link.

ALSO INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA CHARGE: GTD also provides the option for your group to watch an Outdoor Movie on the "big screen" (OK, actually it's a big bed sheet, but it works really good!). Imagine watching a great flick on a big screen while in the middle of the forest as you pop popcorn & make smores over the campfire! It's a great experience! And we are happy to say that we use movies that have been professionally edited by Clean Play DVD to remove inappropriate language & sexual content.

ABOUT OUR BASE CAMP

For TEAM GTD assembling a Base Camp is more than just randomly setting up a few tents, chairs and a mess hall. We want to create an environment that you love. We want to create a Base Camp that is inviting & fun. We want your first impression of your Base Camp to be, "Wow! Sweet! I love hammocks! Who wants to play volleyball! You've got cots, cool! This place is awesome!" Those kind of responses are the kind of responses we get when we set up a Base Camp The GTD Way. The GTD Way is deliberate, creative, functional and fun. As TEAM GTD our objective is to create a temporary playground that promotes spiritual growth, recreation, community, sound sleep, physical renewal, outdoor dining, fun times, adequate hygiene and warmth while preserving a feel of being in God's amazing creation (which reveals the evidence of God). We hope you love it as much as we do!
