"EX-SCREAM" IGNITE RETREAT SUMMARY |
|
Ex-Scream IGNITE is GTD's Halloween Alternative! This weekend will make you scream from non-stop thrills! IGNITE is an exciting fall camping retreat located on a secluded group campsite in central Florida.
Every fire must first start with a spark and Ex-Scream IGNITE will be that spark in your rekindled passion to follow Christ. Like a match being struck, IGNITE will inflame your heart with a renewed passion in your walk with God and fire you up in your daily devotions!
And if that wasn't hot enough, Ex-Scream IGNITE will also incinerate your fears & burn up your burdens as we embark on adventurous activities and explore the majesty of God's creation. We will also explore the consuming fire of God's presence through daily devotions, worship, and nightly Impact Points around the camp fire.
In our time together you will grow closer to God, make new friends, and build new memories! Don't get burned out, get fired up by joining us on Ex-Scream IGNITE and watch God do something "ablazing" in your life! |
 This year's IGNITE will be held at Mill Dam Group Campground in Ocala National Forest (click to enlarge)

ADDITIONAL INFO --> U PIC 2 ACTIVITIES
(Hydro Tubing is already included for everyone so don't include this in your choices) |
|
|
Hydro Tubing is what we call being pulled on an inner tube behind a power boat. It's fast and fun! This activity will take place on the lake next to the campsite. It will take place on Saturday and Sunday. |
|
|
Caving is an underground adventure that takes place at Whitecliff Cave. We will walk, crawl, squeeze and wiggle our way through 2 hours worth of amazing cave passageways. It's a blast! It's also very grungy so bring clothes you don't mind throwing away when you're done. The opening to this cave is 14"x24". Available Sat morning & Sat afternoon. |
|
|
Fear Factor is just what it sounds like, because fear is the factor that makes this activity unforgetable. Participants are harnessed up and attached to a rope. They then climb up a 25' cable ladder, walk out on a limb and leap off. And, oh yeah, we stop you just before you hit the ground! This activity requires a 2 mile round trip hike with gear. Fear Factor will take place on Sun morning. |
|
|
If you're looking for a fun activity with a little less adrenaline then you'll love our 4 mile canoe trip down the Ocklawaha River. Some people call the Ocklawaha River the number one river in Florida for it's easy paddling, pristine beauty and wildlife. It definitely gives you a feel for a more historical & natural Florida. Canoeing will take place on Sun morning. |
|
|
Geocaching is a scavenger hunt in which you use a GPS device to locate the items you're searching for. Caches can be as small as a 35mm film canister or as big as a tool box. The GPS will guide you within 30' of the hidden "treasure" and then you & your partners will have to snoop around until you find it. It may be in a tree, under a rock or somewhere in between. It's very addicting! Available Sat morning & Sat afternoon. | |
|
WHAT IS INCLUDED |
|
Full time guides, activities, all activity equipment & gear, accommodations (including tents & cots or air mattresses), up to 11 meals, devotions & spiritual emphasis, a lifelong memory!
