BOOT CAMP QUESTIONS:
  • What is a "Boot Camp"? We believe that the concept of a boot camp, where men are trained to find and take their place in life, best describes what this experience is all about. It's a boot camp for your heart, mind and body. A time to awaken your heart, find the path of Life and learn how to fight for your freedom. A boot camp is the antithesis of a retreat. It's not about retreating. We just couldn't call this a retreat because the message is all about aggressively getting your heart and life back.
  • Are we going to do a bunch of military-type exercises? Nope. But we offer optional adventure activities that are a great part of the experience and help you get a taste of adventure and recover the physical aspects of being a man.
  • What kind of optional adventure activities? Activities available during the weekend may include: a multi-level rock climbing wall; a 3-story high, 400' long zip line that dumps you right into Pelican Lake; the terror swing; parasailing; golf; horseback riding; clay/skeet shooting; knife-throwing; kettlebell warrior workouts. Some may involve a small extra expense.  All are optional but are highly recommended.
  • What's going to happen when I'm there? Well, we believe that you are going to have one of the most significant, revolutionary experiences of your life.  This is not like any "men's retreat" or men's event that you have ever attended.  We promise, no fireside acoustic guitar hand-holding "kum-ba-ya" stuff nor any over-the-top hyper-male cheerleader stuff.
  • What kind of stuff will we do? What's the agenda? The agenda is purposefully on a need to know basis once you arrive at the boot camp. Arrive on Thursday, leave on Sunday.  If we told you any more, we'd have to kill you.
  • But what if I am NOT really a religious guy? PERFECT! This is not about being more religious.   Believe us... NO ONE needs any more of that stuff, especially men.
  • But what if I AM a religious guy? PERFECT! We will help you trade religion for real Life, Authenticity, Strength and Freedom.
  • How does this Boot Camp relate to John Eldredge and/or Wild At Heart? The message of this Boot Camp is primarily based on the book Wild At Heart as well as several other resources. The camp itself is somewhat modeled after the Colorado-based Wild At Heart Boot Camps put on by John Eldredge and the Ransomed Heart team (and no, John Eldredge is not speaking at the event) but has our own unique stamp.
  • So what is the book Wild At Heart about? Read it or may we suggest starting with the short book "Epic" then move to "Wild At Heart". Both should be available at most bookstores or online at www.RansomedHeart.com.
  • Is this Boot Camp the same as the "Wild At Heart-Band of Brothers" video series? No. There are some similarities of the material presented, but this experience is VERY different. If you have been through the video series this boot camp will actually be a perfect next step after the DVD's.
  • Should I bring a friend or should I come alone? We HIGHLY encourage you to bring one or two friends along to this boot camp, if you can. In fact, we believe that having another man alongside will only serve to deepen the impact of the camp as well as help you when you return home. If you do attend alone, no problem.  There will be opportunities to meet other men at the camp.
  • What do I need to bring to the boot camp? We provide all meals, all bedding, a bath towel, pretty much everything but you, your clothes and your personal hygiene items. We highly advise bringing a journal of some kind; pens; some money for snacks, optional activities, available resources (books, CDs) and that camp t-shirt for your daughter... we provide more of this detail after you register.
  • Is this a good Father-Son event?  This boot camp should not be viewed as a 'father/son' event, although fathers and sons are welcome to attend the same event together if they'd like.  Our recommendation, however, is that they participate in different boot camps, at least for their first experience.
  • Do you offer events for women? Yes. Heart Revolution will be launching events by women for women, likely in the Fall 2010. Make sure you join our mailing list (if you haven’t already) to keep informed of all the latest news as it becomes available.
