Alright, so you’ve just spent a week at BigStuf, and you’re back home, unpacking your sandy shoes and trying to catch up on sleep. But if you’re like most people, you’re already missing it. Here are 10 things you’ll definitely miss when you get home:
The Ocean Air
There’s just something about standing on the beach with your feet in the sand, the salty breeze in your face, and the sound of waves crashing behind you as you worship with your small group. You’ll miss those moments when the ocean feels like it’s singing along with you.
That Session Energy
You know that feeling when the lights drop, the bass kicks in, and the entire room explodes in energy? When you’re jumping shoulder to shoulder with your friends, singing at the top of your lungs, and feeling the bass shake the floor? Yeah, you’ll miss that.
Late Nights, Deep Talks
Those nights when you’re half asleep but still whispering with your small group leader and friends about life, faith, and the weird things you did that day. Those conversations hit differently when you’re a little sleep-deprived and just vibing with people who get you.
Small Group Moments
That circle of people who went from strangers to family in just a few days. You’ll miss those real, unfiltered conversations about life and faith, and the inside jokes that no one else will ever quite understand.
Sunrises and Quiet Time
Early mornings on the beach, where the sun’s just starting to rise, and you get a moment to slow down, crack open your journal, and just be. It’s that rare, uninterrupted time where it’s just you and God.

The Hype on the Bus Ride In
That first bus ride to camp, when everyone’s way too excited, the aux cord is being fought over, and every mile closer to camp feels like a small victory. You’ll miss that energy.
Beach Volleyball and Spikeball Battles
You’ll miss diving for a volleyball in the sand, spiking a ball over a net, and collapsing on a towel after a game, knowing you gave it your all (even if your team lost every match).
Feeling Known
At BigStuf, you’re surrounded by people who know you and want the best for you. You’ll miss being part of a group where you can be your real, unfiltered self.

Those Moments That Just Hit Different
You know the ones — when you’re surrounded by hundreds of other students, hands in the air, voices raised, and you can just feel something bigger than yourself. Those are the moments you’ll carry with you long after camp ends.
