## The story arc

The whole campaign builds one picture piece by piece. Each week isolates one element of the runner pack from the main graphic, then Week 4 shows the full pack. The message ladder underneath it:

| Week | Dates | Element | Message | The one ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aug 24 to 30 | The ground / the track | New Ground. We moved to Scott Mission Camp. | Register |
| 2 | Aug 31 to Sept 6 | The shoes / legs | Rest is part of the work. Beds and cabins open, +$30. | Add a bed |
| 3 | Sept 7 to 13 | The arms / the grind | No Excuses. What actually happens at camp. | Bring a brother |
| 4 | Sept 14 to 19 | The full pack | The Pack. Final push, last call. | Register now, closes soon |

Stories run between the feed posts, always with a link sticker to Brushfire.

## Emails

### Email 1 · Send this week (Tue Aug 25). The location announcement.

Subject: Training Camp has a new home
Preview: Scott Mission Camp, Caledon. Same date, same price, real cabins.

Men,

Big update on the Overnighter.

We just locked in a new location: Scott Mission Camp in Caledon. It is about 90 minutes from Toronto or Hamilton, and it gives us things we could not have had anywhere else. A lake for baptisms. A full kitchen that can feed 350 men. Room for the whole church to run at once. And cabins, with real beds.

It also lets us come alongside a ministry we believe in, and it brings our costs down. So the ticket stays at $99 + HST.

Everything else holds. Friday September 18 to Saturday September 19. Sunrise workout, pig roast, worship under the tent, Rite of Passage, baptisms, and a fire that goes late.

Beds and cabins open for booking this week. More on that in the next email, but if you want one, do not wait.

See you on the ground.

Here is how it works. Your $99 ticket covers the weekend, meals, and a spot to tent. For $30 more you get a bed in a cabin. There are 170 beds and they are first come, first served, so if you know you want one, add it now.

### Email 3 · Send Mon Sept 7. What happens there (aimed at the guy who has never come).

Subject: What actually happens at Training Camp
Preview: If you have never come, read this one.

Men,

If you have never been to the Overnighter, here is the honest version.

You arrive Friday [arrival time] at Scott Mission Camp in Caledon. You get put in a tribe with men from your campus. You eat well (there is a whole pig on the fire). Worship under the big tent is loud and honest. Somebody will say something that lands. You sit around the fire later than you planned.

Saturday morning you are on the hill before the sun is up, doing push-ups next to a guy you just met. Then Rite of Passage. Then baptisms in the lake for the men who are ready. You are home by [departure time] a different man than the one who left.

It is one night. It is $99 + HST, or $129 with a bed. Bring the guy you keep meaning to invite.

Register: https://brushfire.com/c3toronto/mensovernighter2026/628756

No excuses.
