This isn’t your typical camp – it’s packed with unique events, crazy games and a community that gets you. Come ready to laugh, learn, and level up your faith while geeking out in the best way possible!

 

 

At Geek Factory, you’ll have loads of free time to dive into what you love most – or try something totally new! Whether you’re into gaming, crafts or just hanging out with friends, ew’ve got you covered. We’ve got VR headsets, retro and modern game consoles, a treasure chest of board games, and some seriously cool geeky crafts to get stuck into.
 
But that’s just the start! WE run awesome team challenges that are wild, wacky and full of laughs. Think Nerf wars, epic escape rooms, LEGO battles, and even creating your own stop-motion animation. You’ll be pushing your limits, learning new skills and having a blast doing it.
 
And we don’t just stop at the fun stuff – we also take time to explore big life questions and the Christian faith in a way that’s real and easy to understand. Through interactive talks, group chats, and Q&A’s you can share your thoughts, ask questions, and hear different ideas. Whether you’ve been a Christian for ages or know nothing at all, you’ll find a welcoming space to explore and grow.

Need financial Support?: At SWYM we work hard to keep our events costs as low as possible because we believe every young person should have the chance to be part of what we do. We never want money to be a reason someone misses out.
We also know that, for some, finances can still be a challenge. That’s why we’re so grateful to the Leavers Coulson Trust, who have generously offered to support young people who may need help covering the cost of a SWYM event (subject to criteria).
