As youth pastors and leaders, we’re always looking for ways to create moments where students can pause, reflect, and experience God in new ways. There’s something powerful about getting away from the noise of daily life and surrounding students with beauty, community, and intentional time with Jesus. That’s exactly what happens at BigStuf — a Christian summer camp on the beach in Florida.
Why the Beach Matters
Being on the beach is more than just a fun setting — it’s a reminder of God’s creativity and majesty. The peaceful sound of waves, the beauty of a sunrise over the ocean, and the joy of students playing in the sand all help break down barriers and open hearts. For students juggling school, sports, and social pressures, a beach environment invites them to slow down and reset.
Distraction-Free Time with God
At BigStuf, students experience moments of worship, teaching, and small group discussion in a setting that feels both exciting and peaceful. But what really makes a difference? Quiet time on the beach. Each day, students break off for personal quiet time to read Scripture, reflect on the messages they’ve heard, and spend one-on-one time with God. There’s something sacred about sitting in the sand, Bible open, and feeling God’s presence.

More Than Just Fun — It’s Life-Changing
While the fun and energy of camp are unforgettable, the spiritual impact lasts long after students return home. BigStuf provides students with tools to deepen their faith and build relationships with leaders and peers who encourage them in their walk with Jesus.
If you’re looking for Christian summer camps that offer more than just entertainment, a summer camp beach experience in Florida may be exactly what your students need.
