CAMP DATES: DECEMBER 20, 23, 26, 27

Attention all campers! The winter season calls us to use our collective minds and make creations with our favorite building blocks. For this camp, we will use our imaginations to dream up new gadgets, structures and cities for the coldest climates. There will be plenty of science, too, as well as hundreds and hundreds of LEGOs® waiting to be put together. The possibilities are endless! Each day of camp will bring a full lineup of new activities, so don’t shy away from signing up for individual days!
