The camp is designed for kids to learn about Lego Mindstorm robotic systems, engage in full challenges, explore F.I.R.S.T. (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and much more. The camp fee of $20 includes the use of all the robotic equipment and snacks. Partial scholarships are available on request. The 4H adventure camp is limited to youth ages eight to 12. The registration deadline is the Friday before each camp.
