Dive into a play-and-project-based, fun LEGO city-building adventure!
Campers collaborate to plan, construct, and govern futuristic cities while building critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, confidence, and leadership skills.
Kidizens teaches children to be responsible future leaders, one LEGO brick at a time! During our excitement-packed LEGO summer camps, creativity and imagination come alive through a play-and-project-based, fun LEGO® city-building adventure! Our Young Builders and Young Leaders collaborate to build their dream cities, exploring concepts like sustainable architecture, transportation, green spaces, and more – all within a highly immersive and engaging LEGO® universe.
Campers role-playing as city leaders develop 21st century skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving, SEL, and leadership, while they tackle real-world civic challenges, natural disasters, and economic constraints. Whether they are solving a crisis, designing a futuristic transit system, or an eco-friendly skyscraper, campers will be encouraged to blend creativity and engineering principles, dream big, and create sustainable cities of tomorrow!
