The BigStuf Difference

Summer Camp shouldn't just be for students.

Summer camp is often seen as a time for students to disconnect from their daily routines and grow spiritually, but it's equally vital for leaders. At BigStuf, we recognize that leaders do much more than deliver sermons; they manage logistics, handle social media, create resources, and keep parents informed—roles that can be as demanding as they are diverse. This is why BigStuf is designed to be a place where leaders can also be poured into.

Here, the day-to-day responsibilities are handled by our team, freeing leaders to fully engage with their ministry. There's no need to worry about your Planning Center Rundowns or rehearsing your message on stage; instead, leaders can focus on deepening their pastoral skills and connecting with other leaders facing similar challenges.

Through Leader Labs, we foster a community where leaders learn, share, and grow, making BigStuf not just a retreat for students, but an enriching experience for leaders as well.

What are Leader Labs?

Leader Labs at BigStuf are crafted as essential tools for leaders, offering a unique opportunity to enhance their skills through three interactive workshop sessions. These sessions cover vital topics such as building and sustaining volunteer teams, engaging youth effectively, and maintaining balance between ministry and personal life.

More than just workshops, Leader Labs are designed as collaborative forums where leaders can connect with peers from across the country. This community aspect fosters relationship-building and offers a supportive network, providing leaders with a platform to share experiences, challenges, and successes, ultimately strengthening their ability to lead effectively throughout the year.
