Need a cool place to send the kids over summer break? The Santa Maria Valley YMCA is offering arts and crafts, field trips, specialty camps, swimming, and more for children all summer long.
One of the Y’s specialty camps is the two-week LEGO camp, open to kids ages 5 to 12. Designed by engineers, the camp will allow children to take on real-life engineering challenges and explore concepts in physics, architecture, and mechanical and structural engineering. It’s suitable for everyone from novices to LEGO “maniacs.”
