Intensity
STUDENT CAMP
please read through the following information before scrolling to registration buttons & more at the bottom of this page.
Intensity got its name for a reason! We take all of our middle and high school students down to Brownwood, Texas for a week full of fun, worship, teaching, and small groups! Jesus blows our minds every year with what He's doing. We have seen dozens of students meet Jesus for the first time and grow in their relationships with Him at Intensity! Do whatever you need to do to get there with us!

do I have to pay full price to sign my student up?
No!
You can secure your student's spot with a $75 deposit. If you are in need of a scholarship, fill out our scholarship request form here PRIOR TO 03/30/26 and we will let you know if you're approved for that scholarship in time to apply it at registration on 3/30 at 3:30pm. We cannot guarantee that scholarship requests submitted ON 03/30/26 will be approved ON 03/30/2026, so make sure you submit your request no later than 3/29/26.
I HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED MY STUDENT WITH THE DEPOSIT. HOW DO I FIND OUT HOW MUCH I HAVE LEFT TO PAY AND HOW DO I PAY THAT BALANCE?
If you don't know exactly how much is left on your balance, just call the church office at 817-596-8302 and ask for Ty or Kevin.
You can also email either one at (middle school) or (high school)
When you are ready to actually submit the balance payment, you have a few options:
1) You can click here, for our Balance Payment form. Enter your payment amount and billing info and the payment will be submitted to our system instantly.
2) You can also write a check or pay cash in person to Ty Hirsch or Kevin Escamilla. Just put in the memo "Intensity balance for __________(your student's name)".
*NOTE: In the very near future, Greenwood will be rolling out an app that will allow you to do pretty much everything Greenwood related including see registrations in your household for events coming up AND see your balance remaining and pay off any balances you have. When that transition happens, we will launch church-wide and we will show you everything you need to know to use it well. Keep an eye out for this announcement church-wide.
DO I NEED TO FILL OUT ANY PAPERWORK FOR MY CHILD TO ATTEND INTENSITY?
Yes. Registration will be considered official with the submission of a registration form [at the bottom of this webpage], at which point your child's spot will be locked in. However, there are a few other forms that we require in order to allow students to attend Intensity with us that will need to be submitted before July 13th. See below:
Form submission this year will be 100% digital. Be on the lookout for emails from Ty or Kevin that explain how to submit forms digitally once the tools are available to do so.
AM I ALLOWED TO BRING MY PHONE TO CAMP?
Cell phones are not allowed at all at GSM overnight events. One major goal of these events is to retreat away from distractions, and cell phones can often be our biggest distractions of all. Cell phone numbers for Greenwood Students’ Leadership Team, as well as the office number for Heart of Texas Camp are available in the case of emergencies. In the case of an emergency, our GSM Leadership Team needs to be aware of what is going on. PLEASE DO NOT send your student with a cell phone, even for emergencies. Students are instructed to notify GSM leadership of any issues and we will contact parents. Additionally, they are always allowed to ask for a leader's phone if they want or need to contact you: no matter what. Visible cell phones in possession of students on the trip to camp, during camp, and on the way home will be taken up and will not be returned until it is possible to hand the phone directly to a parent. If you have any questions about cell phones, please let Jon or Ty know.
