Re: Summer and Robotics?

I'm always amazed when I read about the dedication of the teams who host the summer camps, etc.! That's wonderful! How do you get the facility and funding to do that, and how do you get enough support from your team members (adults and students)? Most of our adults and students are working during the summer months or traveling with their families on vacation. And in the case of the adults, have already taken 6 or more days of vacation to travel with the team and want to spend their remaining time with their families. We meet year-round, we attend off-season events, plan our teambuilding weekend in the fall, plan educational activities we want to do in the fall with the students, do fundraising, do post-season self-assessment interviews, clean our facility.
