What the week actually is

Churches already have the building, the volunteers and the trust of the families. What most lack is a summer programme that is more than childcare. A STEM week gives a youth ministry something substantive to offer, and it fills seats with families who would not otherwise walk in.

  1. Site setup, staffing ratios and materials
  2. Day-one build and the first failure point
