Sr. Build-Your-Own LEGO® Robot & Battle Camp (Ages 8–14)

Build It. Code It. Battle It. Take It Home.

This high-energy robotics camp is designed for builders ages 8–14 who want to construct real robots, program them, and compete. Campers build their robot from the box, transform it into a custom BattleBot®, and put their engineering skills to the test in exciting competitions.

Throughout the week, campers learn beginner-friendly programming, design strategic upgrades, and tackle competitive robot challenges. They’ll build features like ramps and mechanisms that can flip or outmaneuver other robots, improving performance as they test, adjust, and refine their designs. Campers also participate in interactive games like Robot Simon Says, building coding logic, reaction skills, and quick thinking.

Each challenge earns points toward a trophy, motivating campers to improve their builds and sharpen their strategies. By the end of the week, they’ll compete in exciting robot battles where creativity, engineering, and tactics determine the winners.

Every camper works with a real LEGO® robot during camp, and families can choose the Take-Home Robot option so campers can continue upgrading, experimenting, and competing long after camp ends. Returning campers can bring their robot back and enhance it with expansion add-ons such as a six-legged robot or robotic arm build.

This camp blends engineering, coding, building, and friendly competition in an environment where kids feel challenged, accomplished, and proud of what they create.
