Each camp has at least two full time teachers.
Campers must be between 9* and 13 for the beginner camps
and 10* and 14 for the advanced camps
and 8-13 for the April Vacation camp
*(age at the time the week of camp starts)
If your child is 8 and will NOT be nine by the time camp starts then we cannot accept them into the SUMMER
camp program. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Summer Camps run from 8:45 am until 3:30 pm Monday through Friday
One week of camp will be $245 for the 2010 season 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.
NOTE: As the registration season wraps up, it gets harder to make sure this page is accurate. Last minute
changes, cancellations, or registrations come in at a steady clip. WHEN IN DOUBT, call or email. It is
possible for a camp to be full and not posted here yet.
Beginners Camp: Is for youth ages 9 to 13 and is designed for those who have
little or no LEGO Robotics experience. Older or more experienced campers are
welcome if this is the only week available and we try to match with a like-
minded individual for the week so they may work at a faster or in a more
directed approach to a problem.
Mixed Camp: When we know there are youth with more experience in an area
but not enough to fill an advanced camp we will run a mixed camp. We try to
work with both novice and experienced campers so all can benefit.
Advanced Camp: Is for youth who are at least 10 at the time the camp begins
and have had prior LEGO robotics experience (RCX or NXT). It is also
appropriate for 13 and 14 year olds without experience. Staff are able to spend
less time on instruction and more time mentoring the youth towards completion
of more complicated tasks.
