Bricks 4 Kidz® Roanoke, the highly-popular, nationwide, children’s enrichment program that offers unique, educational LEGO® model building, is now enrolling for STEM-based summer camps. Kids can easily avoid brain drain this summer when they learn through playing. Put them in a program that will employ their minds while having fun and making friends along the way.
Camps are being offered at the Bricks 4 Kidz Creativity Center at Towers Mall, as well as at off-site locations that Bricks Kidz is partnering with, including the Roanoke County Parks and Recreation Brambleton Center and Green Ridge Center, North Cross School Summer Camp Program, Roanoke Catholic Summer Camp Program and Franklin County Parks and Recreation. Numerous pop culture themes are being offered in addition to advanced robotics camps.
“It can be tempting for kids to fall into the old habit of lounging on the couch in front of the TV all day when out of school. Students often don’t get an adequate mix of challenge and fun during the summer months,” says Ellen Marks, Curriculum director of Bricks 4 Kidz. Summer is an ideal time for them to take on new challenges, engage in critical thinking and have fun with peers in an energetic atmosphere.”
Luckily, you have somewhere to turn to shift your children’s summer break into a fun learning opportunity. If you’re looking to keep your child entertained, an exciting summer camp program may be just what your family needs. A pool of talented Bricks 4 Kidz camp teachers are waiting to help your children grow while having a blast. LEGO Bricks are the ultimate informal learning tool, especially in the summer when kids are wishing for more fun playtime. Not only do they prompt kids to naturally practice methods of engineering through hands-on building, they also engage their imaginations with boundless creativity.
Gears, motors, robotics and LEGO computer software programs also help children to grasp technology in ways that they might not during the school year, so they’ll experience a whole new level of amusement. When building with LEGO Bricks, it’s only natural that kids will develop enhanced spatial awareness, visual processing, and fine motor skills. Even better, the Bricks 4 Kidz proprietary models and camp activities are centered around popular themes that kids love! Get children away from TV and video games. Don’t let your kids sit at home in front of a screen all summer.
“Children need a chance to experience working in a group setting as well on their own,” says Michelle Cote, founder and president of Bricks 4 Kidz. “Group work allows them the opportunity to collaborate and learn about their peers, while working alone helps build self-confidence. Creative and imaginative play is also beneficial to child development, so help your kids get off the couch and into an environment that encourages both playing and learning.”
