Summer Intensives -- A lifetime defining experience.

Summer 2027 Dates- May 15th – June 26th

What if you could call a time out in your life and take a break to re-calibrate, reorient, and reboot your inner world with God? What if instead of running full steam into the next season, you took time to pause, be surrounded by a community of mentors and friends to understand who you are? Setting a season aside to intentionally engage your life and pressing into your fears and gaining victory over the places that hold you back can be the difference between direction and wandering.

We are excited to offer our fully immersive summer session in Tennessee. This six-week experience is custom built to guide participants into work, community, shared responsibility, challenge, and brotherhood. Our adventures will include backpacking in the mountains of North Carolina, fly-fishing all over the southeast for multiple different species, and a week-long adventure in the Gulf of Mexico catching fish cap-stoning our summer together.

Lead by our expert staff, and trained mentors, you will be surrounded by a trusted fellowship. You are not left on your own to figure out life. There are others that have been where you are, and can’t wait to offer wisdom and guidance. This experience is loaded with life changing teaching and relationships.

We promise that as you graduate you will never be the same. Isn’t that what you want?

You will gain needed clarity, focused passion on God’s call on your life, experience in the wilderness and come out feeling challenged and equip to take on the next season of life. It’s time.

Stay Up to Date!

Wilderness

During this program, your wilderness experiences, as stated above, will be fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Also included is a small local weekend adventure. There are a lot of places to get lost in the mountains of Tennessee!

Teaching

Every week, you will receive intentional Biblical teaching from the local Tennessee community, including pastors, counselors, and local guides, that will help to guide you through the waters of your life.

Lodging

This year, your home base will be a house in the central part of Southeast Tennessee. This will be your launch pad for nightly teaching, weekend adventures, and your daily work routine. It will be a space for invaluable conversations.

How Much Does it Cost?

$1750 for the 6 weeks. This includes all of your housing, teaching, basic food, devotionals, journals, gear needed for trips, and wilderness trips. There are some scholarships to help. Talk to us about the finances! We’ve never allowed money to be the only reason a guy can’t come to TG.

Raise Money to Help Pay for Tuition

We know $1750 is an incredible value for what we offer, BUT at the same time, its still a big chunk of money for guys in this age bracket. Every summer, we have some young men raise part or all of their tuition through family, friends, or their church. We would love to help you figure this out and will even help draft letters and conversations with you.

Pay In Full

The total cost is $1750. This includes your lodging, food, teachings, journals, wilderness trips, and other resources you will need throughout the 6 week experience.
