Applications for the Summer 2026 season close December 1st.
A new generation of innovators, leaders and thinkers.
What is the BigStuf internship?
The BigStuf internship is an immersive summer experience where college students get the chance to create an incredible camp environment for middle and high schoolers while exploring their passion for ministry. It’s an opportunity to dive into a variety of roles—from production and rec games to leading small groups—while growing personally and spiritually. Each summer, we welcome a diverse group of interns from across the country, and by the end, you'll leave not only with new skills but also with a bunch of new friends (and maybe even lifelong ones). As an intern, you’ll play a vital part in the daily operations of BigStuf Camps and help make every moment unforgettable!
When can I apply?
Internship applications open October 1st and will close December 1st. Applications submitted earlier may be reviewed sooner, so we encourage you to submit your application early.
How long does it take to complete the internship application?
It only takes about 20 minutes, so don't delay!
How long is the internship?
The BigStuf 2026 summer internship will last one month from May 22nd to June 21st (dates tentative).
Where is the internship?
The majority of the internship takes place at the Boardwalk Beach Convention Center in Panama City Beach, Florida—the heart of BigStuf Camp. However, interns should plan to start and end their summer in Atlanta, GA at BigStuf HQ. Interns will carpool from Atlanta to Panama City, FL.
Is it paid?
The BigStuf internship offers a rich, experience-based opportunity to gain practical skills and industry insights. While it is an unpaid position, the invaluable experience gained at BigStuf can significantly enhance your personal and professional journey.
How old do I have to be to apply?
Anyone who is at least one year removed from high school by the time camp starts. For SMMR 2026, that means you’re eligible if you graduated high school in 2025 or earlier.
Where will I stay?
Interns will stay on-site at the Boardwalk Beach Resort, the same location where all BigStuf camp activities take place. Room assignments are based on availability and layout, with interns placed in shared rooms with others of the same sex. If you have a roommate preference, please be sure to note it on the internship application (although we cannot guarentee requests will be accomodated).
What will I be doing?
The BigStuf internship is anything but ordinary! You’ll jump into a wide variety of exciting tasks—from running cameras and stage managing, to filling in as group leaders, officiating rec games, editing videos, and creating content for social media. You’ll also organize supplies and represent BigStuf culture firsthand.
But beyond the tasks, you’ll play a meaningful role in creating the best possible experience for campers, allowing them to focus on what truly matters at BigStuf: connecting with Jesus. Your efforts help camp run smoother, eliminating distractions and making life change possible. Be prepared—every year, interns leave with stories not just about how BigStuf impacted their lives, but how they contributed to life-changing moments for others.
