Welcome to S.T.U.F.F.!
What is S.T.U.F.F?
S.T.U.F.F. is a four-day student-led adventure in politics and government where students delve into elections, mock legislature, finding solutions to the problems in our state, and asking prominent members of our community tough questions, discussing in committees, worshiping, and exploring Biblical mandates for Christians. Lunch is included. Space is limited. You don't want to miss this!
S.T.U.F.F. Dress Code
We require the attendees to present themselves in a professional manner. S.T.U.F.F. values student leadership and integrity, and over the course of the week, students will have opportunities to make impressions upon speakers, parents, and their peers. Dress Code is a crucial part of that.
Tips: We recognize that outfitting your student in professional attire may present some challenges but please don't let that deter you from coming. Being well-dressed is part of the fun and part of the learning. We have found the most success by shopping at thrift stores where skirts are long enough and affordable. We have also had success in the clearance section at JCPenny.
Ladies
- Please wear a knee-length skirt or dress
- Skirts are preferred, however ladies may wear a business pantsuit; no separates, leggings, shorts, or jeans. (This means if you are wearing pants, you must also be wearing a jacket.)
- Do not wear fabric that is sheer, clingy, or too casual
- Blouses must have sleeves unless under a blazer, and should not be tight, low, or short
- Please wear dress shoes, flats, or sandals (no tennis shoes)
Gentlemen
- Dress pants are required; no jeans, corduroys, or cargo pants
- Please wear a traditional button-front dress shirt and a professional tie
- Dress shoes are required; no flip-flops, sandals, or tennis shoes

What people are saying about S.T.U.F.F.
It teaches you about government and is just overall really fun. My favorite thing would be mock leg
It’s a fun way to learn about government with lots of interactive stuff(no pun intended). My favorite thing is mock leg. It was so much fun!

This is a great introduction into how our state government works. The adults and teens in charge were committed to providing a high quality program and all three of my kids left with knowledge and practical experience that will benefit them for a lifetime.
The activities were very well done and fun to participate in. Mock Legislature was great but I’d would have liked more information about it beforehand because it seemed like everyone assumed we had done Teen Pact and we were a little lost at first. It’s was cool that teenagers were leading it.

This class is amazing! It’s gets the kids working as a team and out of their shell. My son looks forward to this class.
He really enjoys the class. He gets to hear many speeches and meet many people.

This is an incredible opportunity for teens to learn about the government process in a hands on and interactive way that has really helped my teens grow as individuals and beginners towards leading. They beg to return each year.
STUFF Rocks! It’s lots of fun, educational, DYLYN (a game that’s always played). Incredible learning experience that has really helped me gain leadership skills while learning the process of how the legislation process works. Best experience ever!

My daughter has participated in this class before but this time was asked to step into a leadership role. I honestly thought my introvert was going to say no way, but surprised me with a ecstatic yes. She owned it and loved mentoring some young ladies. STUFF prepares young minds to become leaders.
love STUFF! Amazing STUFF! Can’t wait to do it again next season. I am also excited that PLANT classes have grown and brought on more classes that I am excited to join this coming year, especially the leaders class.

My daughter had fun learning about the government. She was excited to attend each day and came home with huge smiles and lots to talk about. It’s a great week to learn how the government works and how ordinary citizens can effectively engage with our government.
It was a fantastic week. They turn learning about our government into one of the best weeks ever!

This was an excellent in-person alternative to TeenPact 2021. My daughter had a great time learning about and "owning" the legislative process, as the students ran campaigns, held elections, introduced bills and formed committees to pass or "kill" them. She made many new friends. Her activities initiated family conversations about the nuances of the legislative process and gave her a great perspective of what it means to be an informed and involved citizen. THANK YOU for such an amazing event!!
My daughter came home each day smiling, with plenty of stories about her committee experiences and some of the hilarious bills that had been introduced. She looked forward to each new day. She admired the work that the older and more experienced students put into the event and spoke about how kind they were to her and the other students. She especially loved the evening social events and is looking forward to social opportunities in the future with her new friends (particularly dances ;D).

I want to thank you for an amazing week. Your courageousness, intelligence, and hard work are greatly appreciated by me and my family. The amount of prayer that went into STUFF must have been immense and your love of God shows through in every moment of the class and permeates the lives of these children. I really can't than you enough for this week. The seeds you have planted will grow and flourish with God's help and I've already seen their fruit in [my son]. You and your children have given all the students a strong example to strive for in their own lives. Thanks again and please know you are part of our prayers.
