Welcome to Boot Camp Northwest
Boot Camp is our premiere event and the core of our mission. Many men say it is the most life-changing event they have ever been to and for men with 40+ years of men's retreats under their belt...that's saying something.
Boot Camp is an intense, four-day journey designed to lead men into the battle to recover their true hearts and discover how to live a life of adventure, deep faith and God-given passion. Men take part in multimedia training sessions and have the opportunity to face their fears, chase after the Spirit of God and discover that their deepest hopes about the nature of God's reality...are actually true.
Thank you for our best event in recent memory!
Our April 19-22 Wild at Heart Bootcamp was one of the most powerful events we've had in several years. It wasn't better material, it wasn't a better location, it wasn't a better group of campers - it was simply an uncommon grace from our Father who showed up in big ways for a lot of men - it was fantastic!
We're all catching our breath right now and no upcoming events are firmly on the books just yet. We'll be making plans in the coming weeks so please check back for news and keep an eye on eblasts.
Great Response from Receiving a Spirit of Sonship
With Morgan Snyder from Ransomed Heart
Bringing Morgan out to this one day event was a new thing for Boot Camp Northwest and frankly we weren't really sure what to expect. But we knew our heart was to partner with other men and ministries that have a similar heart. John Bergquist has known Morgan for years and after feeling strongly lead to give the invitation we took a chance - we're so glad we did.
Morgan's subject, Receiving a Spirit of Sonship, was something that had real depth and impact. All of us have felt fatherlessness because we have all suffered separation from father God and sometimes what we need most is just to have some vocabulary to unpack what lacks words in our hearts. Thank you to Morgan, all our new friends from the Ransomed Heart tribe and our own grizzled allies who came out to get rocked.
Thanks to Gary, Sam and all that attended 'It's Your Call'
We had a really great event over the October 21-23 weekend in Corbett, OR. The folks at Camp Crestview were awesome, the weather was...well it's Oregon, but the food rocked.
The team from 
The Noble Heart brought a great wealth of experience and passion - and there was much rejoicing.
Keep an eye open for a follow-up event in a much more limited Calling Intensive, probably sometime in the summer of 2012. We don't have any details yet...but seats will be limited to roughly 40 beds. If you know you want to come, we encourage you to save your seat now by making the deposit on the Register page.
Why We Do This...
Here are a few of the comments we've received since camp...- I first wanted to thank you and the team for a great experience this past weekend. It was truly life changing...Blessings to you and the team – I will be back for round two for sure.
- I just wanted to thank you for facilitating such an amazing boot camp for "my guys". They came home completely on fire and pumped up. My son especially. He told me that he had to put a lot aside in his life and deal with the issues of his heart. That was a very big statement coming from him!...Also said that he'd recommend the conference to all his friends because it was the most applicable and "real" Christian event he'd attended in a long time...He said it put everything in his life right in front of him in a way he has not seen before now...I just cannot tell you how blessed I feel...They came and God met them there. I am thankful to serve such a big God!
- It just amazes me how wonderful God is and how much He can change the heart of his children! Again...I can't thank you enough for providing this ministry to men.
Boot Camp Video
Video is becoming a more important and vital means of communication every year, and the website makes that video incredibly accessible.
The enemy never ceases to fight, never tires of the struggle, and don't think for one second that being 'in ministry' makes that struggle any easier. In fact, it makes it harder! Which is exactly why the Band of Brothers is such a crucial concept. Take a look at how the speakers of Boot Camp NW feel about their participation...
