If you’re wondering what the energy is like at BigStuf this week, the answer is simple: unmatched. We’re in the thick of summer, and every corner of camp is buzzing with laughter, worship, and friendships in the making. Whether you're already here, have a student at camp, or are just dreaming of next summer — here’s a peek into what’s happening right now on the ground in Panama City Beach.
Worship That Moves You
Every session in the Big Room has been packed with energy, heart, and truth. From hands-up, all-in worship to speakers who are preaching the kind of messages that stick with you — we’re seeing students lean in like never before.
And let’s be real: nothing hits quite like a packed room full of students singing loud with their friends under the lights.
Free Time Done Right
After the morning session, it’s time to hit the beach. From sand volleyball to spikeball showdowns, students are soaking up every second of sunshine (and some are just straight-up vibing in the sand). There’s something powerful about fun that’s shared — and this week, there’s no shortage of it.
Real Conversations in Small Groups
Camp is more than hype — it’s about depth, too. Every day, students are diving into small group conversations where they unpack what they’re learning, ask big questions, and get real about what’s going on in their lives. These are the moments where walls come down, friendships form, and God shows up in big ways.
Quiet Time on the Beach
Each day, there’s a pause — a quiet, personal moment to connect with God. Students are opening up their journals, reflecting on Scripture, and processing what they’re hearing at camp. It’s a moment to slow down, reset, and lean into a faith that’s their own. And let’s be honest — quiet time hits different when your view is the ocean.
Late Nights & Lifelong Memories
After evening sessions, the party doesn’t stop. Late night hangouts, themed activities, and deep convos with your small group leader — it’s all part of the experience. These are the kinds of nights you’ll look back on years from now and say, “That week changed everything.”
And the Food? Yes, We’re Eating Good.
It wouldn’t be camp without shared meals, snack runs, and a thousand “what table are we sitting at?” conversations. From café stops to camp classics, food is fueling the fun and keeping everyone energized for the next big moment.
What’s the Vibe?
BigStuf isn’t just happening — it’s alive. The energy. The worship. The laughter. The questions. The breakthroughs. It’s all real, and it’s all happening right now.
So whether you’re scrolling from home or here in PCB, just know: this week, God is moving in the hearts of students and leaders in ways that will ripple far beyond the beach.
