About Camp
Maybe you’ve already got the basics down, or maybe you’re a quick learner, and you’re ready to take your coding skills to the next level. Each day we’ll deconstruct a classic video game type, to examine what makes it work, and then build our own unique playable versions. In this NEW for 2022 camp, we use Scratch 3 -- an amazing code environment developed at MIT especially for kids. Scratch 3 curriculum is used at many levels educationally, from Elementary school on up to high school, and it’s a great way to expand your child’s play time into a foundation for career potential! Kids will spend time on computers and tablets, but no, we don’t expect them to sit in front of a device for 3 hours! We swap activities about every 20 minutes so that kids are getting up, stretching, and doing creative building activities, mixed in with learning how to code. Campers should already have good reading skills. Copyright© 2021 Bricks 4 Kidz Not sure if your child can keep up, or not sure if they will have enough to keep them busy? The Bricks 4 Kidz approach to teaching code is fun and helps kids self-pace, so that they are challenged, but not frustrated, and able to learn and apply more each day. All campers make and take home a custom mini-figure and photo collage of the week’s experience. Please bring a snack and water bottle. Also register for the morning Bricks 4 Kidz LEGO Camp: Introduction to Coding and get a full day of supervision 8:30am-4:30pm at no extra charge (bring your lunch). Staff-to-camper ratio is 1:10.
