WHO WE ARE

What began in 2015 as a free summer camp hosted by Genesis Church has grown into a city-wide movement. That one-week camp quickly became Orlando’s largest of its kind, engaging over 700 participants annually and earning recognition from Macaroni Kids as one of the top summer experiences in Central Florida.


In June of 2025, IGNITE Sports and Arts launched its boldest step yet—the IGNITE Community Center, a year-round hub where kids and students experience elite-level training, intentional mentorship, and faith-centered creativity in the heart of Orlando.


But IGNITE has always been about more than just a summer event—it’s about long-term impact.

Now, through the opening of our new community center, IGNITE offers year-round Sports Labs & Clinics, Art Labs & Clinics, and leadership development opportunities. These programs provide affordable access to world-class coaching, creative exploration, and values-based mentorship for students of all ages and backgrounds.


As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, IGNITE relies on community partnerships, donations, and facility rentals to keep programs accessible and life-changing. Every dollar invested fuels our mission to shape the next generation—body, mind, and spirit.


We’re proud to partner with a powerful network of coaches, artists, and professionals—including members of the Orlando Magic, Orlando City Soccer, UCF Athletics, and more—who use their gifts and stories to pour into young lives and model what it means to live with purpose and faith.


Whether it’s a one-day clinic or a multi-week lab, kids don’t just walk away with new skills—they walk away with confidence, purpose, and a deeper sense of who they were created to be.



OUR VISION


To create a year-round community where kids are inspired to grow in their gifts, grounded in their identity, and guided by mentors who reflect the power of faith.
