Young Mayors Lego Leadership Camps
SF Bay Area

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!

A highly engaging 1-week experience!

A combined session with Young Builders (6-8yrs) building creative cities through imagination and play, alongside Advanced Builders (9-11yrs) role-playing as city leaders to tackle real-world civic challenges, natural disasters, and economic constraints to create cities of Tomorrow

Young Builders: Ages 6-8: Play, Build, and Dream
In a highly engaging, play-based camp experience, the Young Builders bring their fun, creative city-building ideas to life.

Young Leaders: Ages 8-11: Solve, Create, and Innovate
