Who is ready for Big Stuf 2023?!

BigStuf summer camp is hosted right on Florida’s most beautiful beach: Panama City Beach. It’s a fun week-long experience for students to hang out and learn about Jesus. Students will be challenged, motivated and given practical tools to live out their faith! This camp is open to current 7th graders through high school seniors.

We will depart from the church on June 19th at 7 A.M. and return late Friday afternoon on June 23th.

The cost is $600.00 and covers travel, lodging, meals while at camp, and a camp ticket. It doesn’t include food on the way down or back, snacks while at camp (there’s a cool snack bar in the hotel as well as vendors outside), or souvenirs.

Scholarships

While $600.00 is a tremendous value for an all-inclusive week away for beach camp, it is still a lot of money. We understand that there are a myriad of reasons why paying for camp could be tough on your family. We want this trip to be accessible to every single youth who wants to go.

A number of partial scholarships are available. Please contact [email protected] for more information. Please do not hesitate to ask for this. We never want finances to be the reason that any youth misses out on this week.
