Weekends that create community.

We suggest one (1) adult for every seven (7) students. We believe with a student-to-leader ratio of no greater than 7:1, your group can break into small groups and connect with each other on a much deeper level than larger groups allow. In addition, groups must have at least 1 male and 1 female adult if they are bringing both male and female students to the event.

You are responsible for your group's accommodations. We'll have room blocks at area hotels to give you some options. See your event's date and location page for hotel information. Please call the hotel and book your rooms before the cut-off date so you don't miss out!

You are responsible for your group's meals. The schedule allows time for your group to leave the venue, eat, and be back in time for each session. Expect to plan for 4-6 meals depending on whether you stay 1 or 2 nights.

You must cancel or reduce your registered numbers at least 30 days before the event starts to receive a refund of your deposits.  Less than 30 days prior to the event start, deposits are not refundable, and cannot be applied to the final group balance, cannot be transferred to another group, and cannot be applied to a future event.

A $30 deposit is required per person to register. You are welcome to fill an empty spot with another student or adult from your group.

If you reduce your total attendance count from the original registered count, and do so at least 30 days before the event, all funds paid for cancelled spots will be applied to the group balance or refunded if no balance exists.

If you reduce your total attendance count less than 30 days before the event, but 14 or more days before the event, the $30 per person deposit will be retained by BigStuf.

There will be no refunds for cancellations or reductions in total registration count made less than 14 days before the event.

Payment in full will be due for any cancellations made less than 14 days before the event whether or not payment in full has been made at the time of the cancellation(s). This applies to a reduction in the total count for the group or a group that must cancel its attendance entirely.

Payment in full for all students and adults must be processed through online registration or received by check at the BigStuf office at least  two weeks (14 days) before the start of the event. Any registration not paid in full 14 days prior to the event will be assessed a $10 late fee per person.
