Camp is open to children in K through 5th grade. It’s from 9-3 each day and takes place in the Church of the Holy Apostles 612 Greenwood Ave.
Early drop off is available from 8am and aftercare is available till 5.
Each day we begin with a major building project working in groups. We will break for lunch and a runaround at the playground around eleven, and have afternoon snack at 1:30. You send the lunch, we provide a snack of dry Honey nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams. After lunch we return to our Lego projects and add smaller details.
The building approach will vary with the theme but there are several main components:
Small step by step builds: we sit in a circle and everyone builds the same small kit following the teacher’s instructions.
Lego kits: Students works in pairs to build official Lego kits with the instruction booklets.
Guided free building: Depending on the scale of the project this can be done as individuals or in groups as large as four, the teacher will present general guidelines for the build and display an example and the children will be given appropriate supplies to design their own.
Free building: Lot’s of Lego, a general idea of the theme and then free for all.
