The outcomes of the game are based on dice rolls which are modified by the character stats you chose!

We run published adventures and will play a short campaign across the remainder of our 4 sessions.

LEGO Architecture - City Life!

LEGO Architecture: City Life is the perfect camp for young builders who dream of designing innovative buildings and creating functional spaces for their mini-figure communities. From towering skyscrapers to cozy homes and bustling city spaces, campers will explore what it takes to design structures that are both creative and practical. Every great building—whether it’s the Burj Khalifa or the house next door—begins with an idea. In this camp, campers will learn how to turn their ideas into thoughtfully designed LEGO® structures. Guided through the full design process, campers will draft floor plans, experiment with scale and symmetry, and test their builds for strength and stability, even preparing them to withstand real-world “disasters.” Through a blend of STEM-focused building challenges and open-ended creative time, campers will sharpen their problem-solving skills while letting their imaginations soar. Collaboration, creativity, and hands-on learning are at the heart of every build. Join us for a week of exciting LEGO® city-building adventures and watch your young architect bring their own vibrant LEGO® city to life!\
