Let’s be real — your first time heading to BigStuf Camp might feel a little nerve-wracking. New people, a new place, and a week full of who-knows-what. But trust us — this is going to be one of the best weeks of your life. Here's what you can expect from our five day summer camp in Panama City, Florida.
Kick off your mornings the right way
Every day starts with massive energy in the Big Room — worship, fun games, and speakers who actually get what you're going through. No boring stuff here. It’s real, relatable, and honestly hits home. Plus, getting to take in these moments with your group makes it that much more fun and leads to meaningful conversations later in the day.
Beach time is a vibe
Right after the morning session, you’ll hit the beach with your group. Whether you’re into spikeball, volleyball, basketball, or just chilling in the sand with your friends — this is the part where you can just breathe and have fun.
Quiet time on the beach
There are so many moments at camp where you're learning and growing alongside your group — but BigStuf is also about your personal walk with Jesus. That’s why we press pause on the day and give you space for quiet time: a chance to step away from the noise, sit by the ocean, and spend intentional time with God.
Evening sessions go hard
Evening rolls around and you’ve had time to head back to your condo, chill for a bit, and get ready for the night. Then it’s time for session — kicking off with high-energy games and hosting, worship that might just make you wanna dance, and a message that builds on everything you’ve been learning throughout the week.
Late-night fun
The night’s not over yet. After sessions, there’s always something going on — themed nights, competitions, and just straight-up fun with hundreds of other students who are all there for the same reason.
Small groups = real talk
You might not know it yet, but some of the people in your small group might become lifelong friends — the kind you throw graduation parties with, live with in college, or stand beside in your wedding. And these moments at camp could be the start of all that.

For leaders — we’ve got you too
If you're a leader coming along, Leader Labs are designed just for you. These sessions offer encouragement, practical ministry tools, and honest conversations with seasoned youth leaders who get it. Whether you’re new to student ministry or have been doing it for years, you’ll leave feeling more equipped, refreshed, and reminded that what you do truly matters.
The place, the people, the moments — it’s all next-level.
BigStuf isn’t just a camp. It’s an experience you’ll never forget. If you’re nervous, that’s normal. But get ready — by the end of the week, you’ll wonder why you ever worried.
