Summer Sessions 2026
W.A.F.F.L.E.S. Community Robotics is a not-for-profit organization. Since 2014, we have run LEGO robotics summer camps to suit a variety of ages, experience levels, and interests.
We strive to create programs that blend fun activities with engaging lessons and the hands-on application of learning. Our coaching team consists of knowledgeable students and alumni from our robotics teams, often working one-on-one with students to teach them in their areas of interest. Our programs are designed for small groups of children, with counsellor to camper ratios of 1 to 3-4 (1 to 2-3 for our 4-6yrs programming).
This year our summer robotics sessions are for kids ages 4 to 14. The sessions will run as single one-off workshops, to allow students to take part in one or more throughout July. We aim to introduce students to more advanced STEM concepts and robotics, laying the groundwork for future success in more advanced or competitive robotics programs.
Summer session questions can be sent to camp@wafflesrobotics.com.
