We’ve been looking back at past Bigstuf memories, and now we’re excited to invite students to join us again this summer. Bigstuf 2026 (June 8th–12th) will be our 21st year attending this camp. Each summer, students spend the week worshiping, opening God’s Word, building community, and growing in their faith alongside students from across the country. Bigstuf has been a place where students are encouraged, challenged, and reminded of who they are in Christ, and we’ve seen God...

Why did God bring me here (Bigstuf 2025)? I truly believe God brought me on this trip to show me that I am not alone when I have doubts and fears. I used to feel guilty and lonely, but these speakers made me realize other people feel this way too — and that God is not mad at me; He still cares, hopes, and loves me. Darkness does not have to rule my life, and there should be no fear of the future because I put my trust in God. I now know that my purpose and identity should be found in Christ...

Two Students Accepted Jesus at BigStuf 2025! In our 20th year attending BigStuf, we witnessed God move in powerful, personal ways. Camille and Gracie both gave their lives to Jesus—and many more students experienced renewal, healing, and hope in their faith. This year’s theme, “The Flip Side,” invited us to see life through a different lens. We explored how doubt, disappointment, and failure don’t disqualify us—they position us for grace. From Thomas’s questions to...

Will you help support a student on mission? We are so thankful for those who have given and are continuing to give. Your generosity has already helped students travel across the country to share the love of Jesus. But we still need additional support. This year, students from The Walk Youth Group have served in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. They’ve prayed over firefighters, comforted the grieving, and shared the gospel with strangers. They’ve stepped out of...

Would you consider financially supporting our students as they step out in faith to share the love of Jesus? We’ve been so encouraged by the number of students who are growing in their faith and saying “yes” to opportunities to serve. Over 260 students have joined us for youth group this spring, where we’re discipling them each week and helping them build a strong foundation in Christ. They’re now putting that into action—through our recent mission trip to San Francisco,...

Why do you think God brought you on this trip? (Bigstuf Day 5: Journaling) I think God brought me on this trip because he knew that there has been some distance between us. From all the sports and practices, it has made it really hard to be consistent with him. But being on this trip with some new people and some old people has made me realize that we can make time for the things that we truly care about. - written by a student that attended Bigstuf

Bigstuf 2024 The Walk Youth Group Building 229 Thomas County area ministry

I am building my house on sand. I’m not satisfied with the house I am building. My house is a house that seems like it’s always under construction. Last year BigStuf was the prime of my life. I felt close to God and I was genuinely happy. After school started, I was so caught up in homework and sports. I never took the time out of my day to regain my connection that I used to have. I’m still super happy. Currently, I surrounded myself with people who better me. But even though I’m...
