MORNING: Start the Day with Worship + Truth

☀️ Optional Beach Quiet Time

Before the day even begins, some students and leaders head down to the beach for a quiet moment with God. The ocean breeze, the sunrise, your Bible, and a journal — it’s a calm and personal way to start the day before the energy kicks up.

🎤 Morning Session in the Big Room

Once the sun is up, it’s go time. The Big Room is packed with thousands of students, high-energy games, unforgettable worship, and a message that speaks directly to middle and high school life. It’s fun, powerful, and real — a tone-setter for the rest of your day.

🍳 Breakfast + Group Time

After session, students grab breakfast and head back to the condo or out on the beach. This is a great time to debrief with your small group or connect one-on-one with a leader about what stood out to you.

NOON: Play Hard, Chill Harder

🏖️ Free Time

This is what most students dream of — hours of beachside fun. Whether you’re swimming in the ocean, jumping into a volleyball or spikeball game, hitting the basketball court, jamming on a guitar, or just laying in the sun with friends — there’s something for everyone.

🏄 The Ultimate Vibe

With music playing and waves crashing, the Boardwalk Beach Hotel becomes your playground. Some students go all-in on sports. Others grab shaved ice or chill in the shade. Either way, you’re surrounded by friends, sunshine, and good energy.

🍔 Lunch

Midday meals are included in your camp package and happen onsite, giving students time to refuel and keep the vibes going.

🧘 Optional Quiet Time (Midday or Evening)

Camp schedules are flexible this year — and quiet time can also happen in the afternoon. It’s a personal, reflective time to connect with God and process what you’re learning. Bring your Bible and journal, find a quiet spot, and press pause for a bit.

NIGHT: Worship, Word, and Late Night Fun

🧼 Reset + Regroup

After free time, you’ll head back to your condo to clean up, reset, and maybe sneak in a nap. Camp can be full throttle — this break gives you time to chill before things ramp back up.

🎶 Evening Session

When the sun goes down, the Big Room lights up. Sessions at night start with more high-energy hosting and games, followed by live worship and a message that continues the theme from the morning. It’s fun, it’s moving, and it’s often the moment where things just click.

👥 Small Group Time

Every evening, groups break off to talk about the day — the message, the worship, and real life. These convos go deep, build trust, and often spark friendships that last long after camp is over.

🎉 Late Night Activities

And we’re still not done. BigStuf Late Night is always a highlight — from beach parties to silent discos to themed competitions, there’s always something exciting happening before lights out.

Why It Matters

A day at BigStuf is more than a schedule — it’s an experience built to help students grow spiritually, connect with community, and have an absolute blast. From morning worship to late-night hangs, every moment is designed to help students meet Jesus in a real way.
