Lego Camps for 2025

Why attend a Lego camp?

Lego camps help kids hone their fine motor skills, counting, and problem solving skills as well as promote interests in science and engineering. Your child will receive step by step instructions and supplies to unleash their creativity while working with other kids, effectively strengthening their communication and leadership skills, and consistently explore the different ways they can build on what they create.

Bricks 4 Kidz, for example, guides children to not only assemble their own motorized products but expand on their creations as the program continues. Their learning activities “support the sense of pride and accomplishment in the children, giving them structured problem-solving skills with curiosity and imagination at the core."

Find the right Lego camp

According to Rona Amaral, Managing Director of Bricks 4 Kids Mississauga, parents should consider first and foremost whether a Lego camp will be age appropriate. She advises that the general age range for full day campers is 5+ to 11 or 12 years old when kids are ready to move on. Children 4 years or younger may not be mature enough for a full day camp, so families might want to consider a half day session in the mornings. “It depends on the child,” Rona says, “If kids are too tired, it’s just not going to be as enjoyable for them. But parents can call us to talk about whether they think it might be right for their child.”

Other questions you may want to consider asking include:

• How is this camp different from other types of educational camps?
• Are there any additional activities or amenities offered (such as snack/lunch or transportation)?
• Are campers grouped by age, if at all?
• What is the camper-to-staff ratio?
• What accreditations does the camp have and what credentials do the staff have?
• What safety precautions are in place in case of injury with the Legos?

In addition, instructors at Lego camps are all teachers having either completed or finishing the ECE program who are committed to providing informative and exciting activities, but don’t hesitate to ask about their qualifications and training if you have questions.

As more parents are looking to add variety to their child’s summer experience, Rona advises choosing a camp program that “brings a lot of value” overall and where kids will be learning without even realizing it. Lego camps in particular offer this type of environment, inviting children to take initiative and get creative all while learning and expanding on the educational concepts they delve into at school.
