Intensity
YOUTH 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!

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 4/1/24 and we will let you know if you're approved for that scholarship in time to apply it at registration on 4/1 at 4:01pm. We cannot guarantee that scholarship requests submitted ON 4/1 will be approved ON 4/1, so make sure you submit your request no later than 3/31/24.
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 Julie.
When you go to pay the balance, 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 Jon Hartman, or Ty Hirsch. Just put in the memo "Intensity balance for __________(your student's name)".
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 top 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 8th. See below:

AM I ALLOWED TO BRING MY PHONE TO CAMP?
Cell phones are not allowed at all at Intensity 2024. A major goal of this event 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. Visible cell phones 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.
