WHO WE ARE

IGNITE Sports and Arts was launched in 2015 as a bold initiative by Genesis Church to provide a FREE sports and arts camp for children across Orlando. What began as an opportunity quickly exploded into the city’s largest kids’ camp, engaging over 700 participants, volunteers and coaches.


But IGNITE has always been more than just a camp - it’s a bridge to the community, bringing together local coaches, clubs, collegiate and professional athletes, artists, and studios to create an unparalleled experience for young athletes and artists. From the start, IGNITE set a new standard for excellence.


In 2015, it was named the Macaroni Kids winner for Orlando Summer Camps and has since partnered with current and former players from the Orlando Magic, Orlando City Soccer, UCF Athletics, professional trainers, coaches, and instructors—building a foundation of high-quality training and mentorship for students of all ages.


At it’s core, IGNITE is about more than skills - it’s about shaping lives. Our vision of year-round opportunities is to continue providing spaces for children and students to feel valued, experience elite-level instruction, but most importantly, give coaches, trainers, artists and athletes of faith a place to share their stories, beliefs, and how faith has shaped their journey.


This is IGNITE! A place where passion meet purpose, and the next generation is set on fire for what they love.
