Each camp has a maximum of 16 campers.
Each camp has at least two full time teachers.
Campers must be between 9* and 14 for the beginner camps
and 10* and 15 for the advanced camps
*(age at the time the week of camp starts)
Camps run from 8:45 am until 3:30 pm Monday through Friday
One week of camp was $235 and includes morning and afternoon snacks and a t-
shirt. Lunch is a bag lunch which each camper must bring with them.
Campers design, build and program robots during the week and the teachers help
them learn fundamentals of design, engineering, programming, and robotics.
The program is non-competitive and children work in groups of two (and occasionally
groups of three if they choose to). Each group works on projects and missions
assigned at the beginning of the day and continues through the day and into the
week. As they get more skills they have the opportunity to work on their own projects.
The advanced camp is for children who have already completed a week of camp or
have been a member of a FIRST LEGO® League team. The activities for these
camps require a more advanced understanding of the programming and building of
LEGO® robots.
