The Genesis Bootcamp is a tough, no-nonsense camp experience designed to help teens reconnect with structure, focus, and purpose.
It’s a military-inspired, leadership-driven two-week program built around three pillars:
Discipline. Routine. Structure.
“My child is on the wrong path. I need help!”
“They’re always online and emotionally disconnected.”
“They need discipline and a push in the right direction.”
This camp is that push.
This isn’t a punishment, and it’s not a quick fix.
It’s a high-impact reset through structure, teamwork, and challenge.
NEXT DATE: 29 June – 12 July 2026
This is an intensive camp with limited slots. We keep numbers small on purpose — so each teen receives the attention and guidance they need.
If your teen is ready to rise, reset, and rediscover their inner strength — this is the camp to make it happen.
RATES: Please refer to our General Information page for camp costs and eligibility.
NOTE: Program suitable for ages: 13–19 (Grade 8-12+)
Why We Created This Camp
Over the years, Camp Genesis has received thousands of messages from concerned parents.
Many weren’t just looking for a holiday camp. They were looking for real change — a disciplined, structured environment that works.
Let’s be honest — teens today are overstimulated but underprepared. They’re connected to everything, but often disconnected from themselves.
This program was created in response to a clear and growing need: A need for focus, grit, and realignment.
The Genesis Bootcamp removes distractions, resets the mindset, and helps teens rediscover who they are — and what they’re truly capable of.
It’s a two-week intervention that uses routine and discipline as a platform for self-discovery and leadership growth.
We get them out of their comfort zones, off their devices, and into a growth environment where:
- Mornings start before sunrise
- Routines are consistent and earned
- Challenges are real — and require teamwork
- Reflection is part of every day
We’ve seen the difference this kind of environment makes.
It doesn’t just change behaviour — it changes lives.
It’s tough, yes — but it’s empowering.
And it works.
Core Pillars
Discipline
Campers develop consistency, control, and resilience through real consequences, commitment, and earned responsibilities.
Routine
Daily routines help teens learn time management, personal accountability, and intentional living.
Structure
Structure builds freedom. Teams rotate leadership roles, manage tasks, and learn how order builds stability and focus.
Who Should Attend?
This camp is for teens (ages 13–19) who:
- Struggle with discipline, time management, or routine
- Are spending too much time online and not enough time growing
- Need to build confidence, self-control, and resilience
- Would benefit from unplugging and being challenged
- Are open to leadership, reflection, and inner growth
Whether your teen is coasting, resistant, or simply stuck, the Genesis Bootcamp is designed to interrupt the cycle and redirect them with purpose.
Program Overview
During their two weeks at the Genesis Bootcamp, campers follow a consistent yet dynamic daily rhythm. From pre-dawn drills and platoon briefings to confidence courses and strategic team missions, every day is designed to push them out of their comfort zone and deeper into purpose.
Each day blends:
- Sunrise PT & Drill: structured, military style physical training to sharpen focus and grit
- Leadership Workshops: interactive sessions on integrity, decision making, and goal setting
- Scenario Based Missions: team tasks that demand strategy, problem solving, and trust
- Skill Blocks: shelter building, navigation, rope work, and field first aid
- Evening Reflections: guided journaling, small group debriefs, and personal goal reviews
No two days are identical, yet every day follows the disciplined cadence that turns routine into real, lasting growth.
This two week program is engineered to:
- build ironclad discipline and self-mastery
- establish healthy routine and personal accountability
- develop unshakeable mental resilience
- strengthen teamwork and communication under pressure
- unlock authentic, servant minded leadership
- reconnect teens with purpose beyond their screens
This is a full mind-body-soul reset. And we do it with intention, support, and high standards.
