15TH ANNUAL SLAMMED ADVENTURE TRIP

SLAMMED is GTD's original favorite. This is the Adventure Trip that started it all! SLAMMED is the first trip (and only trip) offered by GTD in 1996 and God used it to give birth to our full time year-round ministry today (ALL glory to God!).
 
Over the course of 5 days GTD slams you with several heart-pounding adrenaline-pumping adventures that will exhilarate you to the core! In our time together we will travel to Chattahoochee National Forest in northeast Georgia to go camping, rock climbing, rappelling, whitewater rafting, waterfall sliding, and hiking. Now you see why we call it SLAMMED!
 
We will set up our base camp in an amazingly beautiful national forest and visit nearby waterfalls!!! We will chase after all of these adventures as we explore the majesty of God's creation. And that's not even the best part, we will also explore the majesty of God's presence through daily devotions, praise & worship, and nightly challenges from the Bible as we hang out around the camp fire.
 
SLAMMED will challenge you and potentially change your life as you grow closer to God, make new friends, encounter & overcome fears, and engage in some of the most outrageous adventures of your life! Instead of getting so busy that you feel crammed, take 5 days to jump start your life by getting SLAMMED!

ABOUT OUR BASE CAMP
For TEAM GTD assembling a Base Camp is more than just randomly setting up a few tents, chairs and a mess hall. We want to create an environment that you love. We want to create a Base Camp that is inviting & fun. We want your first impression of your Base Camp to be, "Wow! Sweet! I love hammocks! Who wants to play volleyball! You've got cots, cool! This place is awesome!" Those kind of responses are the kind of responses we get when we set up a Base Camp The GTD Way. The GTD Way is deliberate, creative, functional and fun. As TEAM GTD our objective is to create a temporary playground that promotes spiritual growth, recreation, community, sound sleep, physical renewal, outdoor dining, fun times, adequate hygiene and warmth while preserving a feel of being in God's amazing creation (which reveals the evidence of God). We hope you love it as much as we do!
 
 
 
 
 
ABOUT OUR MAIN ADVENTURES
INCLUDED ADVENTURES
TOP ROPE ROCK CLIMBING & RAPPELLING: Top-rope climbing & rappelling is all about having fun and being as safe as possible. Top-roping is the safest form of climbing. It offers the rock climbing experience with all the rewards but minimal risks by allowing you to climb a rock face with the safety rope always anchored above you minimizing your falling distance to only inches or a few feet.
HIKING & WATERFALL SLIDE: This will be one of the most exciting adventures of the trip as we visit sliding rock at Tallulah Gorge State Park. In order to get to sliding rock we first have to hike down 1 mile into the gorge. There we will spend several hours sliding down a smooth waterfall into an emerald green natural pool surrounded by 400' rock cliffs. Be warned though, this hike is strenuous!

PICK ONE OPTIONAL ADVENTURE (ADDITIONAL FEE)
Chattooga River - Section IV (High Adventure 07_-14-04_1045_100.jpg: Best rafting in the southeast!)
 Want something exciting? Desire incredible scenery? Section IV has it all. You'll crash through the class IV+ rapids from which legends are made: Woodall Shoals, Seven Foot Falls, Ravens Chute, Deliverance Rock. (Think something looks familiar here? It should, you've probably seen Burt Reynolds slide past this mammoth boulder as he's swimming in a scene from the movie Deliverance.) We'll stop long enough to view the astounding waterfalls of Stekoa and Long Creek Falls as they cascade into the river, just to let you catch your breath! Then, as the canyon deepens and the river rounds a hard right turn and drops out of sight and an ominous roar seems to make the entire raft tremble with excitement, prepare yourself for the world renowned Five Falls, starting with Entrance, flying through Corkscrew, slipping through the narrow line at Jawbone, and finally over the big drop at Soc-em-Dog, you'll drop a total of about 100 feet over a little more than a third of a mile!
 
TRIP LENGTH: 7 Hrs (Class III-V; Intermediate to Advanced)
LUNCH: Included on the river!
MINIMUM AGE: 13
ADDITIONAL COST: $100/ person

NOT INTERESTED IN RAFTING THE CHATOOGA RIVER? HERE'S ANOTHER OPTION - INNER TUBING THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER!: Come enjoy a relaxing afternoon at Cool River Tubing Company and float your cares away! Take an exciting tubing trip down the scenic Chattahoochee River. Tube trips include your tube, U.S. Coast Guard approved life preserver, a shuttle service and a relaxing float through the scenic Alpine Village of Helen, GA. (Additional Cost: $10/person)
