Lanny Donoho
Funny, creative, interesting, deep, crazy, zany: These are some of the adjectives that people use to describe the head honcho of YMR. Lanny is the cog that holds the BigStuf camps together. Some people say that Lanny thinks outside the "box." We say Lanny doesn’t even own a box – he invented the word creativity and outside the "box" would be confining to Lanny. If you’re looking for the reason why the BigStuf camps are the best in the country, we have two words for you: Lanny Donoho!

The Bigstuf Band
Anyone who’s ever heard the BigStuf Band has this to say about them: "." That’s right – they’re speechless. This band is by far the best praise and worship band in the country. Some of our band members are in the Oneday band, Passion Band, and the 7:22 band. Without a doubt – our band is BigStuf.
