Course Description

Christian Boot Camp is a 32-day in-residence, military style boot camp for young men and women between the ages of 13-19.

CBC is designed to instill discipline, respect for authority, integrity, unity and morality back into the lives of young men and young women. The course consists of a five day orientation period followed by a four-day intense survival camping trip within the first nine days. Afterwards they participate in a ROPES Course designed to help develop teamwork. The trainees, as they are referred to, spend the the majority of the remaining days of the course in spiritual and physical development as well as conducting community service projects and participating in some specialized training. They are fed three meals a day and they live on campus for the duration of the course. At the end of the 32-day course, the trainees who endured are spotlighted at our elegant graduation banquet ceremony, which promotes self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. The graduates are dressed in tuxedos/ gowns with family and friends in attendance.

The young men and women of the generation need the "kick-start" that CBC provides, but the fruit of CBC would be all but lost without the continual dynamic of our Mentorship Program. Midway through the in-residence courses of CBC, the trainee will be paired with a mentor. After graduation, the mentor will help to keep the trainee on the right track until their 20th birthday.

The child is not the only one that needs to change; the home environment also needs to make some adjustments. CBC Family Conferences are designed to equip the parents with skills, knowledge and techniques to bring out the very best in their child. The parent must agree to attend a total of three-three day CBC Family Conferences before we will agree to enroll your child into Christian Boot Camp.

From the desk of the Commandant:
Dear Interested Partners,

For the last 13 summers, beginning in the summer of 1995 up through 2008, Christian Boot Camp (CBC) has partnered with parents and trained the teenagers of many wonderful families throughout the United States. More recently, we restricted our serving to the families in the San Antonio metropolis and surrounding areas.

Our commitment to continue to provide this service is even stronger today that it was in our beginnings. We are making plans and taking action to extend the reach of our services while we deepen the experience of CBC by developing programs and curriculum designed to make a "life-time" impact on young people and their families. We are so excited about the improvements we are making and the stronger emphasis we are placing on certain aspects of the ministry of CBC.

In order to plan and implement these changes effectively we.re going to suspend the ministry of CBC until the late summer of 2009 at which time CBC will serve as a 4 ½ week in-residence entry level ministry to a more comprehensive and unique education and training program called the Christian Military Academy. We regret having to suspend our services to you for any amount of time but we know that when we resume we will be able to serve you better and have the kind of impact that will bless and empower your families for generations to come.

During the suspension of our services we are also dealing with legal issues which threaten the viability of CBC and the civil liberties of one of my Training Instructor Assistants, namely, 20 year old Stephanie Bassit and myself. We are very confident, however, that in the end truth will prevail and the thing which was intended to destroy us will actually serve to strengthen us. Eleven (11) of the best lawyers in this region have been assembled and are doing an expert job at guiding us through this legal landmine. Although most of the legal expertise that they are providing is greatly discounted in price, we still have the challenge of honoring them financially for their services. To this end I have established the Commandant Defense Fund (CDF). You may contribute to the CDF on line @ www.christian-bootcamp.org Click on donate and follow the simple instructions. Thank you for your prayers and your support.
